Martin Newell - The Girls in the Flat Upstairs

 
0
Copied!

{Verse}
Now Lindy sometimes got down
And she worked in a club doing drinks on the door
She’d say “I’m tired of this town”
And the farm boys and jerks
And their fights on the floor

{PreChorus}
And one day I will break out
And I’ll save, I’ll buy some B&B and me and Sheila will live
And we’ll drink till we drop on a Saturday night

{Chorus}
Girls who lived in the flat upstairs
Girls who lived in the flat upstairs

{Verse}
And Sheila was so alive
She would laugh and she’d curse
And say outrageous things
She drove a big motorbike
She wore leather and jeans and she had lots of rings

{PreChorus}
And once when I was so drunk
She was strong
And she lifted me into my room and put me to bed
With a washing-up bowl and a drink for next day

{Chorus}
The girls who lived in the flat upstairs
Girls who lived in the flat upstairs

{Outro}
Carry on, carry on, carry on, carry on
And wherever you are you’d better watch your chemicals, girls
