Ray Davies - Welcome to Sleazy Town lyrics

One hand on the controller One hand on the re-wind You can even watch it all in slow mo' 'Cos you just sit at home all day Now you got plenty of time If you want some real live action And the video's too tame If you wanna touch some heat But you don't know how to light that flame If you want some satisfaction Instead of studying the freeze frame I used to have this spot on Main Street It was bounding, it was hot It was dark, it was dirty But dull it was not The joint was jumping every night But now it's just a parking lot This city was cruel This city was keen This city was alive This city was mean Till the office blocks and parking lots Came and closed this city down I could stand outside The kids hung round And the neon sign said Welcome to Sleazy Town Welcome to Sleazy Town Sleazy, Sleazy Town Everybody hung loose It was cool and easy People used to meet and have a good time Down in Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town Then the corporations came along And bought this piece of ground The leases all went up And so the buildings all came down They built the motorways and shopping malls And they k**ed off Sleazy Town This city was cool This city was keen This city was alive This city was till the office blocks and parking lots Came and closed this city down I could stand outside, the kids hung round And the neon sign said Welcome to Sleazy Town Welcome to Sleazy Town, Sleazy, Sleazy Town City Hall k**ed off that scene Now Sleazy Town is just a dream
