                 (Hey!)
A5 [Verse 1]
A5
Saw a suit in Daddy’s wardrobe, I took a swipe

A5
Lapels, size of islands, gangster white line pinstripe

                          A5/D                    A5
Laughed off the street in the name of my rock ‘n’ roll

A5
Still a caterwauling groove will start off vacation

A5
Eighties plastic Soul don’t give palpitation

                       A5/D                A5
Richie, he no like, he call out the firing squad

[Verse 2]
A5
Richie look for suede, me I look for leather

A5
Sartorially we groove, occasional disaster

                                     A5/D                    A5
For tight black canvas no make for a straight legged sixties scenester

A5
Then we hit the street with poise of commando

A5
Clothes, guitar, but arsenal missing one thing

                           A5/D                      A5
Exotic Glasgow chick, they call her the "Carmen Veranda"
