Face Down - Wild Horses

Fire escapes and flashing lights

Police raids and fistfights

Just like it was ten years ago

Elvis Presley on the radio

Peroxide blondes in nice blue jeans

Stiletto heels, just seventeen

'Cos two would dance and meet a boy

Falls in love with Foxy Roy, what a boy

Those fifteen suits, all custom made

Knows all the tunes in the hit parade

Made his money in the retail trade

No one around him put him in the shade

He’s down to Brighton for the weekend

a convoy and cavalcade

Takes his Jenny for a pillion ride

Ends up in hospital with broken pride

Face down

No sound

Knows what it’s all about

Face down

Hard ground

He’s got his work cut out

Over and over and over again

Fire escapes and flashing lights

Police raids and fistfights

Just like it was ten years ago

Elvis Presley on the radio

Ten years later he’s a different man

He married Jenny, got his family planned

His big excitement now’s a pint or two

Still he remembers just like me and you

Face down

No sound

Knows what it’s all about

He’s face down

Hard ground

He’s got his work cut out

Face down

No sound

Knows what it’s all about

He’s face down

Hard ground

He’s got his work cut out

Over and over and over and over again
