Tenement Funster (BBC Session/October 16th 1974, Maida Vale 4 Studio)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] My new purple shoes Been amazing, the people next door And my rock 'n roll 45's Been enraging the folks on the lower floor I've got a way with the girls on my block Try my best be a real individual And when we go down to Smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual [Chorus] Ooh, give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outta this place [Verse 2] I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free And this same situation, just cuts like a knife When you're young, and you're poor, and you're crazy [Chorus] Ooh, give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outta this place
