Welcome To Sleazy Town Lyrics - Kinks

One hand on the controller 

One hand on the re-wind 

You can even watch it all in slow mo' 

'Cos you just sit at home all day 

Now you got plenty of time 

If you want some real live action 

And the video's too tame 

If you wanna touch some heat 

But you don't know how to light that flame 

If you want some satisfaction 

Instead of studying the freeze frame 

I used to have this spot on Main Street 

It was bounding, it was hot 

It was dark, it was dirty 

But dull it was not 

The joint was jumping every night 

But now it's just a parking lot

This city was cruel 

This city was keen 

This city was alive 

This city was mean 

Till the office blocks and parking lots 

Came and closed this city down 

I could stand outside 

The kids hung round 

And the neon sign said 

Welcome to Sleazy Town 

Welcome to Sleazy Town 

Sleazy, Sleazy Town 

Everybody hung loose 

It was cool and easy 

People used to meet and have a good time 

Down in Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town, Sleazy Town 

Photos 

Then the corporations came along 

And bought this piece of ground 

The leases all went up 

And so the buildings all came down 

They built the motorways and shopping malls 

And they killed off Sleazy Town 

This city was cool 

This city was keen 

This city was alive 

This city was till the office blocks and parking lots 

Came and closed this city down 

I could stand outside, the kids hung round 

And the neon sign said 

Welcome to Sleazy Town 

Welcome to Sleazy Town, Sleazy, Sleazy Town 

City Hall killed off that scene 

Now Sleazy Town is just a dream
