Genya Ravan - Street Ha**le lyrics

[part A. Waltzing Matilda] [Verse 1: Lou Reed] Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet Sexy boys smiled in dismay She took out four twenties cause she liked round figures Everybody's queen for a day [Verse 2: Lou Reed] Oh babe, I'm on fire and you know I admire your body Why don't we slip away Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin' Sha la la la this way Oh sha la la la la - sha la la la la Hey baby Come on, let's slip away [Verse 3: Lou Reed] Luscious and gorgeous, oh what humping muscle Call out the National Guard She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees From off of the Formica topped bar [Verse 4: Lou Reed] And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly Out of this world And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion And sha la la la la later on [Verse 5: Lou Reed] And then sha la la la la la He entered her slowly and showed her where he was coming from And then sha la la la la he made love to her gently It was like she'd never ever come And then sha la la la la, sha la la la la When the sun rose and he made to leave You know sha la la la la, sha la la la la Neither one regretted a thing [part B. Street Ha**le] [Intro: Jo'Anna Kameron, Angela Howard, Christine Wiltshire, Genya Ravan] Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Slip away Oooh Oooh Oooh Oooh [Verse 1: Lou Reed] Hey, that c*nt's not breathing I think she's had too much of something or other Hey, man, you know what I mean I don't mean to scare you But you're the one who came here And you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave [Verse 2: Lou Reed] I'm not being smart or trying to be cold on my part And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve But you know people get all emotional And sometimes man they just don't act rationally Oh, they think they're just on TV Sha la la la, man Why don't you just slip her away [Verse 3: Lou Reed] You know, I'm glad that we met man It was really nice talking And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak But you know it could be a ha**le Trying to explain myself to a police officer About how it was your old lady got herself stiffed [Verse 4: Lou Reed] And it's not like we could help But there's nothing no one could do And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first Oh when someone turns that blue Well, it's a universal truth Then you just know that b**h will never f** again [Verse 5: Lou Reed] By the way, that's really some bad sh** That you came to our place with But you ought to be more careful around the little girls It's either the best or it's the worst And since I don't have to choose, I guess I won't And I know this ain't no way to treat a guest But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet And just lay her out in the darkest street And by morning, she's just another hit and run [Verse 6: Lou Reed] You know, some people got no choice And they can never find a voice To talk with that they can even call their own So the first thing that they see That allows them the right to be Why they follow it You know, it's called bad luck [Part C. Slipaway] [Verse 1: Bruce Springsteen] Well hey man, that's just a lie It's the lie she tells her friends 'Cause a real song The real song she won't even admit to herself The beating in her heart It's a song lots of people know It's a painful song With a load of sad truth But life's full of sad songs Penny for a wish But wishin' won't make you so, Joe But a pretty kiss or a pretty face can't have its way Joe, tramps like us, we were born to pay [Verse 2: Lou Reed] Love has gone away And there's no one here now And there's nothing left to say But oh how I miss him, baby Oh baby, come on and slip away Come on baby, why don't you slip away [Verse 3: Lou Reed] Love has gone away Took the rings off my fingers And there's nothing left to say But oh how, oh how I need it, baby Come on baby, I need you baby Oh, please don't slip away I need your loving so bad, babe Please don't slip away
