Ian Hunter - American Spy Lyrics
Neon lights in the pouring rain - it's just another SaturdayAvoid the bovver boys comin' out the Indian - looking for an affrayI left home on the 4th of July - in nineteen hundred and seventy fiveI'm just a pirate with a patch over one eyeWanna buy a drink for an American Spy?I spent fourteen years on the factory floorI never took a day off sickI was workin' away all day on the Centre LatheTryin' to get it done quickI was always in the red - never in the blackYou make a little money 'n they take it all backThis ain't the way to spend the rest of my lifeWanna buy a drink for an American,Wanna buy a drink for an American Spy?Englishmen don't commit suicide - they move to the USAThey got big back yards and Platinum cards'N everyday's a holidaySeedy little snobs - I don't wanna know 'emI don't trust them *****ers as far as I can throw 'emCast your fate to the winds say IWanna buy a drink for an American Spy?Don't ask me - sounded like a planGo west, go west, go west young manI've had enough of that old school tieWanna buy a drink for an AmericanDo ya wanna buy a drink for an American (Spy)?Do ya wanna buy a drink for an American Spy?
