Money got tight
So two to a bed
Swapped out each night
Slept on floors instead

Neon carol doda
Outside our window
Burlesque show
Nights lurid glow

So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave angst

Band took turns
Trying to sleep
We laughed and cried
cs cockroaches creeped

The record dragged on
cnd money ran low
Got kinda homesick
Nowhere to go

So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave sangfroid

Orange in the park
Just like heaven
Happiness meter
Up to eleven
Played with Pete Shelley
Saw Romeo Void
Crashed parties like
New romantic
csteroids

Synchs and ebows
Dmx drum machines
Spandex and trench coats
Dark as you've ever been

So we kept
Jamming and strumming
Morning through night
Singing and drumming
Till music took flight
Naïve and too cool
To be smart
New wave sangfroid
