MARC & THE MAMBAS - FUN CITY

Fun City
Sleaze (Take It, Shake It)

Fun City

I left my town
With a pain in my heart
Not a word of goodbye
To the ones I did love
Taking a train
Away from the rain
To the lights of The Smoke
Got to find my own way now

Fun City, Fun City
To London experience
Fun City, Fun City
To London experience
Backwards, forwards
Wearing out the corner
Fun city, fun city
Here's my inexperience


Chorus


Have no feelings, have no sex
Wonder who to rip off next


Playland, scandal
Pocket weighs you down
Playland, scandal
Machine handle goes down
Lose all my money
Try to make a killing
Can't even make my fare back home
So this is Fun City


Repeat chorus
(have no money)

I tried to make friends
Tried to make amends
I sunk so low that its
Hard to climb out
I've nowhere to live
Though I've so much to give
I found the hard way
What life's all about


Repeat chorus


I'm all alone
And I'm lost in this city
Feeling degraded
Being paraded
I want to love
And I thought this was the way
But I'm only young
And I'm often this wrong


Repeat chorus


Have no morals
Have no innocence
I'm quite straight
Just playing for the rent

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
