Boys

Under the streetlight

Out on the corner

Looking for starlight

Boys

Drunk on the perfume

Of love never tasted

Of hearts never true

And

Girls

Living in bedsits

French cigarettes they

Never inhale

And

Girls

All skinny and wise

Cry without thinking

Born to surprise



Boys

Caught in the headlights

Trying to make wrong right

Just to get laid

And

Boys

All hairoil and beerstains

Missing the last train

Love never saved

And

Girls

Twisting and turning

Like mercury slipping

Out of my hands

And

Girls

Sulphur and burning

Sweetness and yearning

Stretched out on the sand
