Sasha stands in his yellow cafe
yes the heart of the city is here, so he tells me Sitting on his red leather sofa, he’s rolling another
Man, I’ll see you when I see you
Holly is set to be the next big thing
In her high heeled boots, and her two inch earrings
Heart of glass, Blondie, sings in her ear
You’re a rock queen honey and we all hear you!
Three minutes left to go, is this the end, then
Message on your stereo, four minute warning

Lucy had a hard time with love
But love recently chose the right time for Lucy
Loving when you know it’s the final time

Yeah, Jimmy’s is the local for Michael
A Guinness in one hand, in the other a fable, able
I once asked are you a lonely man
