Kings & Queens of the Underground lyrics

Born in a time that wasn’t made to last. In 1977 it went fast

Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit

And then ‘Kiss me deadly’ and we had a hit

Last night in the Roxy we fucked on the floor

Shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored

But if you are here tonight – And you hear these sounds

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

1984 ‘Rebel Yell’ had the floor

And all we said was ‘more more more’

Well I touched you with my ‘Eyes Without A Face’

I was ‘Hot in the City. Yes I thought I was ace

But I didn’t know then when I was in your front room

On MTV baby I was high as the moon

But if you are here tonight – And you hear these sounds

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years

Sold all my vinyl – It went up my arm

And I thought rock n roll couldn’t do me no harm

Now I’m rolling a joint, yes I’m dressed in black

If we lose the music baby we can never go back

But if you are here tonight – And you hear these sounds

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

Jonesy said, ‘Bill, don’t be profound

If you are still a King of the underground’

If you hear my voice, and these Rebel sounds

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground

If you hear my voice and I’m still around…

Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years

Oooh Golden years
