Marc Almond: Sleaze

(sleaze)
(sleaze)
Lipstick marks on pint beer mugs
And love bites on the neck
Take me in your back room
And you pay for what you get
Diana dors all washed up
Dolores del rio
Hanging round the lowlife dives
And other zombie go-go's

Sleaze - can be very tragic
Sleaze - but I only see the magic
Sleaze - can be very flashy
Sleaze - it's at it's best when trashy
Take it, shake it, fly with it
Do it, screw it till you're sick
Pull a trick, get a hit,
Love it till you're sick and tired of it
Sleaze
Sleaze (shake it)

Hanging round these back streets
Inner soho after hours
Feeling very used and I'm feeling very tired
Someone threw a party (shake it)
Someone threw a fit (take it)
Baby let me mambo with you a little bit
Mambo (mambo)
Mambo (and all those little spanish hustles) hey!

Did I tell you all my secrets (no)
About the things I did (I did? )
About people I went with
How they treated me like shit (that's right)
How you fell out of bed
And I had to drag you back in
Back into my life
Into my sleazy life
(sleazy life)

Hey
Hey
(shake it, take it)

Did I ever tell you I loved you (never)
That we could be so good together
Hanging out on the street together
Selling our meat together
Sleaze hey!
I love you


Sleaze

(the tinkle of the piano)
(it drags me under the table)
(in a slow sweet f**k)

Shake it, take it
Sleaze - can be very tragic
Sleaze - but I only see the magic
Sleaze - can be very trashy (trashy)
Sleaze - but it's at it's best when flashy
Take it, shake it, fly with it
Do it, screw it till you're sick
Pull a trick, get a hit,
Love it till you're sick and tired of it

Sleaze

I've worn these rags for days
And now I feel just sleepy
All these looks and hooded crooks
Are making me feel creepy
A greasy greek is eyeing me
And making me an offer (ha!)
I take his bribes and cigarettes
Move on to find another (haha haha)

Sleaze - can be very trashy
Sleaze - but I like it best when it's flashy
Sleaze - hey
Sleaze - hey

Shake it (strange when [? ] is a way of earning money)
Take it, hey (some are cruel, some are kind)
(all are necessary)

Take it, shake it, fly with it
Do it, screw it till you're sick
Make a hit, pull a trick
Love it till you're sick and tired of it

Sleaze
Sleaze

I'm 21 and I think I love you

Hey
Hey
Hey

Ugh!
