Marc Almond - Sleaze (Take It, Shake It)

======================================



Lipstick marks on pint beer mugs

And lovebites on the neck

Take me in your backroom

And you'll pay for what you get



Diana Dors is all washed up

With Delores del Rio

Hanging round the lowlife dives

And other zombie go-go's



Chorus

Sleaze, can be very tragic

Sleaze, but I only see the magic

Sleaze, can be very flashy

Sleaze, it's at its best when trashy

Take it, shake it

Fly with it

Do it, screw it

Till you're sick

Get a hit

Pull a trick

Love it till you're sick and tired of it

(Shake it!)



Hanging 'round these backstreets

In the Soho afterhours

Feeling very used

And I'm feeling very tired

Someone threw a party (shake it!)

Someone threw a fit (take it!)

Baby let me mambo with you a little bit

Mambo! (mambo)

Mambo! (ai yi yi yi yi) And all those other Spanish hustles



Did I tell you all my secrets? (no)

About the things I did? (I did?)

About people I went with (huh?)

Who treated me like shit (that's right!)

And you fell out of bed

And I had to drag you back in

Back into my life

Into my sleazy life (sleazy life)



Hey! Hey! Shit! (take it)

Did I ever tell you I loved you? (did I ever?)

That we could be so good together

Hanging out on the street together

Selling our meat together

Sleaze (hey!)



{let me out...

let me on the table...

for a slow sweet fuck..}



Shake it, Take it



Chorus



I've worn these rags for days

And now I feel just groupie(?)

All these looks and hooded crooks

Are making me feel creepy (creeps!)

Greasy Greek is eyeing me

And making me an offer

I'll takes his bribes and cigarettes

Move on to find another (hahaha)

Oh Yeah!

Strange how you never...

tell me where you earn your money...

some are big

some are bad

all unnecessary}



I'm 21 and I think I love you
