Lyrics
You kept us alive
You fed us as we fried our brains
Nightly, ever so slightly
But you weren't to know
Gastronomic offerings
We couldn't afford to eat
So we nicked your morning sweetness
Go!
We fell on you like vultures
Desperate, depraved
Colleagues probably afraid
But would gladly have denied our daily feed
The irony, straight from a seedy Victoria bed
Stinking of sex and guilt and musty sheets
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up in the glorious streets of Soho
Oh-oh (Ooh)
Monday to Friday, one massive party
Hundreds of pounds a night we stole
Acid and booze, coke and sex and arguments
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up in the glorious streets of Soho
Oh-oh (Ooh)
(Ooh)
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up in the glorious streets of Soho
Oh-oh
Then back to work in Mayfair
At the bottom, always late and broke
Begging for scraps and smoking butts
Hang Marvin, starving, laughing
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up in the glorious streets of Soho
Oh-oh, Soho
Oh-oh
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up for the story
We lived like extravagant kings
Lording it up for the glorious streets of Soho
Oh-oh (Ooh)
(Ooh)
(Ooh)
