The Kirkstall Road Girl - Jake Thackray
作曲:Jake Thackray
Now that she's the queen the Aphrodite
Of the socialite magazines
Though her photo's à la mode
We knew her before down the Kirkstall Road
Those jewelled arms and neck that
Taste of Chanel well
When they were none so white
All Kirkstall knew them well
It's marron glacé suppers now
And Liebfraumilch before bed :
Bye-bye chips and cocoa good-bye
Jam and bread
Now she's a big-time girl bold as brass
In the high-class social world
She has worked at her Kirkstall style
Now she's got a Rolls-Royce voice
And an E-type smile
Pond Street flat now and small
Fat men with cigars cigars
No more scabby boozers only cocktail bars
Languid postures with an Irish
Wolfhound as décor cor
No more manky mongrels sniff round
Her back door
No more lamp-post deals no more
Rendezvouses down the rhubarb fields
No more grind by the old canal
No more of your back yard Bacchanales
Spring collections on her back and a moue
On her lips her lips her lips ooh
When she was coarse and saucy
At least she got her kicks
And if her smile be snooty and
Her eyes be blasé well
At the Mecca Locarno they could
Flash more enthusiastically
Chic boutiquey clothes with her brand-new
Hair and a brand-new nose
Though she daubed herself with woad
We'd still know that bird down the Kirkstall Road
There's lots as good as her down the Kirky Road
But they don't go away
Thank The Lord they stay
They're better off any way
Down the Kirkstall Road
