Robbie Williams - Sweet Gene Vincent Lyrics
Blue gene babySkinny white sailor, the chances were slender,The beauties were briefShall I mourn your decline with some thunderbird wineAnd a black handkerchief?I miss your sad virginia whisper,I miss the voice that called my heartSweet gene vincentYoung and old and goneSweet gene vincentWho, who, who slapped john?White face, black shirtWhite socks, black shoesBlack hair, white stratBled white, died blackSweet gene vincentLet the blue caps roll tonightAt the sock hop ball in the union hallWhere the bop is their delightHere come duck-tail danny dragging uncanny annie,Shes the one with the flying feetYou can break the peace, daddy sickle greaseBut the beat is reet completeAnd the jump-back honey in the dungarees,Tight sweater and a pony-tailWill you guess her age when she comes back-stage,The hoodlums bite their nailsBlack gloves, white frostBlack crpe, white leadWhite sheet, black knightJet black, dead whiteSweet gene vincentTheres one in every townAnd the devil drives till the hearse arrivesAnd you lay the pistol downSweet gene vincentWith nowhere left to hideWith lazy skin and ash-tray eyesAnd perforated prideSail away, boysTake me homeCountry roadsSo farewell, mademoiselle knicker-bocker hotelGoodbye to money owedWhen your leg still hurts, but you need more shirtsYou got to get back on the roadSweet gene vincentSweet gene vincentSweet gene vincentSweet gene vincentWhen your leg still hurts, but you need more shirtsYou got to get back on the road
