Up Downtown

I was running with the Backhanders
From the Mona to the Mermaiders
From the East end to the West paraders
Through the car park and up the stairs
You can forget all your troubles, forget all of your cares
I’m going up Downtown

I met the Twist in there one new years eve [In the nineteen seventies]
I said let’s start a band and sound like Lou Reed
I was all dressed up to look like David Bowie
I met a Bryan Ferry lookalike a Blow Monkey
You can forget all your troubles, forget all of your cares
I’m going up Downtown

I met the girl with the unusual name in there [In the nineteen eighties]
You can forget all your troubles, forget all of your cares
I’m going up Downtown
