Billy Idol - Kings & Queens Of The Underground lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Born in a time that wasn’t made to last

In 1977, it went fast

Johnny told us to rise not to give a shit

And then Kiss Me Deadly & we had a hit

Last night in the Roxy we made luv on the floor

We shot up in the bathroom & said we were bored

(Chorus)

If you are here tonight & ya hear these sounds

We are still kings & queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

We are still kings & queens of the underground

(Verse 2)

1984 and Rebel Yell had the floor

All they said, was more more more

Well I touched you with my Eyes Without A Face

I was Hot In The City, yes, I thought I was ace

I didn’t know then when I was in your front room

On MTV, baby, I was high as the moon

(Chorus)

If you are here tonight & ya hear these sounds

We are still kings & queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

We are still kings & queens of the underground

Oh, oh, golden years

(Verse 3)

Sold all my vinyl, it went up my arm

And I thought rock and roll, couldn’t do me no harm

Now I’m rollin' a joint & I’m dressed in black

If we lose the music baby, we can neva go back

(Chorus)

And if you are here tonight & ya hear these sounds

We are still kings & queens of the underground

I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around

We are still kings & queens of the underground

Jonesy said Bill, don’t be profound

If you are still a king of the underground

If you hear my voice & you dig these rebel sounds

Still kings & queens of the underground

Here tonight, I want to dig these sounds

I’m still a king of the underground

If you hear my voice dig these rebel sounds

We’re still kings & queens of the underground

Ooh, ooh, golden years
