Текст Billy Idol – Kings

Born in a time
That wasn’t made to last
In 1977 – it went fast

Johnny told us to rise

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
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

1984 and “Rebel Yell” had the floor
All they 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

I didn’t know then
When I was in your front room
On MTV, baby
I was high as the moon

If you are here tonight
And you hear these sounds

I don’t mean to be profound
But if I’m still around
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 and 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’re here tonight
And you hear these sounds
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 & queens of the underground

Ooh, ooh, golden years
