Gina In The Kings Road Lyrics - A Beach Full Of Shells - Al Stewart

Gina in the King's Road, 1968 

Blonde hair and eyeshadow, I hyperventilate 

Purple leather mini, legs up to there 

Don't you cast aspersions on my naugahyde affair 

And she can make you believe 

You're feeling almost sincere 

And every day's New Years Eve 

She's giggling in your ear 

And yet she's so hard to reach 

Although she's so close at hand 

I'm like a wave on her beach 

Sinking in the sand 

Everyone went out with her, everyone knew why 

No one ever stayed around, no one ever tried 

Now Gina drowns her sorrows, drinks away the night 

She's wrapped around some stranger, hanging on for life 

repeat chorus 

Now Gina in the King's Road, in a raincoat shimmering white 

Hands thrust in her pockets ike Julie Christie might 

Looks up into othe distance, puckers up her lips 

I don't stop to talk to her, we're just passing ships 

repeat chorus
