Kings & Queens of the Underground Lyrics

Born in a time
That wasn't made to last.
And 1977 - it went fast.
Johnny told us to rise,
Not to give a s***.
And then 'Kiss Me Deadly'
And we had a hit.

Last night in the Roxy
We made love on the floor.
We shot up in the bathroom
And said we were bored.

If you are here tonight
And you hear these sounds
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

I don't mean to be profound
But if I'm still around
Then we are still Kings and Queens
Of the underground.

1984 'Rebel Yell' had the floor.
And all we 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.

But I didn't know then
When I was in your front room
On MTV, baby
I was high as the Moon
But if you are here tonight
And you hear these sounds
Then we are still Kings & Queens
Of the underground

I don't mean to be profound
But if I'm still around
Then we are still Kings & Queens of the underground.

Ooh, ooh Golden years

Sold all my vinyl
It went up my arm
And I thought rock'n'roll
Couldn't do me no harm.

Now I'm rolling a joint,
And I'm dressed in black
If we lose the music, baby
We can never go back
And if you are here tonight
And you hear these sounds
Then 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,
And you dig these Rebel sounds
Still Kings & Queens of the Underground

Here tonight
I wanna dig these sounds
I'm still a King of the Underground
If you hear my voice
Dig these rebel sounds
We're still Kings and Queens of the Underground

Ooh, ooh Golden years
