The Kirkstall Road Girl - Jake Thackray[00:00:00]
Now that she’s the queen the Aphrodite[00:00:06]
Of the socialite magazines [00:00:10]
Though her photo’s à la mode [00:00:13]
We knew her before down the Kirkstall Road [00:00:17]
Those jewelled arms and neck that[00:00:22]
Taste of Chanel well [00:00:25]
When they were none so white [00:00:29]
All Kirkstall knew them well [00:00:31]
It’s marron glacé suppers now [00:00:34]
And Liebfraumilch before bed :[00:00:36]
Bye-bye chips and cocoa good-bye [00:00:40]
Jam and bread [00:00:43]
Now she’s a big-time girl bold as brass[00:00:46]
In the high-class social world [00:00:50]
She has worked at her Kirkstall style[00:00:53]
Now she’s got a Rolls-Royce voice[00:00:57]
And an E-type smile [00:00:59]
Pond Street flat now and small [00:01:03]
Fat men with cigars cigars[00:01:05]
No more scabby boozers only cocktail bars [00:01:08]
Languid postures with an Irish[00:01:14]
Wolfhound as décor cor [00:01:16]
No more manky mongrels sniff round[00:01:20]
Her back door [00:01:23]
No more lamp-post deals no more[00:01:26]
Rendezvouses down the rhubarb fields [00:01:29]
No more grind by the old canal [00:01:33]
No more of your back yard Bacchanales [00:01:37]
Spring collections on her back and a moue[00:01:42]
On her lips her lips her lips ooh[00:01:45]
When she was coarse and saucy [00:01:48]
At least she got her kicks [00:01:50]
And if her smile be snooty and[00:01:53]
Her eyes be blasé well [00:01:56]
At the Mecca Locarno they could[00:01:59]
Flash more enthusiastically [00:02:01]
Chic boutiquey clothes with her brand-new[00:02:05]
Hair and a brand-new nose[00:02:09]
Though she daubed herself with woad [00:02:12]
We’d still know that bird down the Kirkstall Road [00:02:16]
There’s lots as good as her down the Kirky Road [00:02:21]
But they don’t go away [00:02:27]
Thank The Lord they stay [00:02:30]
They’re better off any way[00:02:33]
Down the Kirkstall Road[00:02:35]
