Well I'm hanging around with the girl about town, nShe can't stand up for falling down,nWe're in the gutter and looking up nAnd wishing on the starsnSays Twenty years ago today nI was a Welsh girl in the USAnI met a boy on ligger street nWho stole my heartnnYeah, we danced all night to the sounds of The RamonesnHe had a punkrock guitar that I played when we got homenHe knew a drummer with a pink haircut and his sister joined the bandnSix months later we signed a deal and we headed for JapannnNow I live on the fourteenth floor of tower block estatenAnd when I'm drunk I see the lights shine over Swansea BaynI wish I was back...nI wish I was back...nI wish I was back...nI wish I was back... nBack in the New York groove.nnWell I'm hanging around with the girl about town, nShe can't stand up for falling down,nShe's got plastic badge stuck across her heartnSays gimme teenage kicksnSays Twenty years ago today nI was a Welsh girl in the USAnI fell in love with a boy from QueensnAnd quit the band.nnSpent all my money on a cocktail dress with matching silver shoesnAnd a purple souped-up travellator David Bowie used to usenWe bought some drugs and we hit the road on the hottest summer daynBut he left me for a singer in a disco band in a nightclub in L.A.nnNow I live on the fourteenth floor of tower block estatenAnd when I'm drunk I see the lights shine over Swansea BaynI wish I was back...nI wish I was back...nI wish I was back...nI wish I was back...nBack in the New York groove.nnI'm the girl about town that you heard of,nGirl about town.
