Godley and Creme lyrics : "An Englishman In New York"

Demented New York athletes staggering round the block
Deforned Chicanos pour in, Chicago's rolling stock
Digital bathrooms drilling for furs

Surgical stockings marked his and hers
Guggenheim attitudes back to back
With Jewish Baroque

No way street
No way street
Happy to see you, have a nice day!

Defecting Russian dancers dance into Hockney prints
Exclusive to Bloomingdales, gift-wrapped in red
From the land of blue rinse

They boggle at menus in Olde English verse
"Ode to burger" by Keats at his worst
The hissing of omelettes the breaking of legs

Don't shoot till you see the whites of their eggs
The pink fillet mignon looks black on the negs
Strange apparatus

You've never seen
Strange apparatus, even stranger theme
Street alligators

Big Anglophile
Will navigate us through a change of style
I came, I saw, what manner of beast is this

New York, you talk a little bit left of centre
A scream, a shout
New York is throwing it's weight about

Walk tall, walk straight, spit the world right in the eye
The stranger the wood the straighter the arrow
Dismembered hopeful My-Lai veterans queuing for sleaze

"Sorry no dogs, no !@$)s, no shriners, and no amputees"
Sexual athlete applies for audition
Willing to make it in any position

Just one of the extras with blood on their faces
In snow-white and the seven basket cases
I'm happy and dopey and dirty in places

No way street
No way street
Lock up your daughters, Avon crawling!

Devoted collectors of paraphernalia out walking the rock
Battle and (*##$ for the ultimate kitch
Of a crucifix clock

Two miniature romans, running on rails
Appear every hour and bang in the nails
I've got to have it, Christ, I gotta be the first

On our block
Disturbing facts about !#@$ splinter groups seen on the news
They're picketing synagogues and claiming that

Hitler was King of the Jews
Caught in the tunnel an ambulance howls
A men's room attendant is flapping his jowls

Ssshh, Howard Johnson is moving his bowels
Strange apparatus
You've never seen

Strange apparatus, even stranger theme
Street alligators
Big Anglophile

Will navigate us through a change of style
Strange apparatus
You've never seen

Strange apparatus, even stranger theme
Walk straight, walk tall, spit the world right in the eye
The stranger the wood, the straighter the arrow

No way street
No way street
