Shaftesbury Avenue Lyrics - Momus

I think you're wailing for someone 

And I think he's not going to show 

And there's this little place round the corner 

Wanna go? 

Uptown - charcoal and braziers 

Uptown - where the traffic is crazier 

Uptown - where the people are racier 

And the stage door is unlit 

Uptown - I'm going up there just as I am 

Going to dance down the roofs of the traffic jam 

Uptown - 'cause I've got something that's itching me 

And here's where I'm going to scratch it

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Listen To Taylor Swift's New Song 'Call It What You Want' 

Watch Sam Smith And Fifth Harmony Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

Appearing in the West End: 

Tottenham Hotspurs with Rolex handshakes 

And crocodile sunlans 

(Appearing in the West End) 

JAPs and prunes, cops and robbers 

Touts with faces like the phantom of the opera 

Council house tarts and cocktail bars 

Looking for a boyfriend 

(Appearing in the West End) 

Foetus in the dish, falcon down the pan 

Feasts in the dustbin 

(Appearing in the West End) 

Gerrard Street girl watch as I go 

My hungry blue eyes below your window 

(Appearing in the West End) 

If I could just speak Cantonese 

You could be my best friend 

(Appearing in the West End)

There's some greal entertainment lined up for me 

On BBC1 

But meet me on Shahesbury Avenue 

(Operating for fun, looking for a good time) 

Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me 

Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue 

Talk to me 

Dance with me 

Make love with me 

Make me somebody 

Uptown - walking all night all alone 

Uptown - through the entertainment zone 

Uptown - searching for sweet oblivion 

'til the bitter end 

Uptown - nothing comes to him who waits 

Uptown - no free lunches, no dinner dates 

Uptown - got to take your chance at a back door dance 

With a very special friend 

Appearing in the West End: 

Streatham princesses in sherbert stilettoes 

And matt black toy boys who act like heroes 

(Appearing in the West End) 

Businessman sleaze, whips made of liquorice 

No sex please: we're British 

(Appearing in the West End) 

Chinatown pimps and handshake whores 

And Tackhead caps at the Astoria doors 

(Appearing in the West End) 

XR1 sunroofs open on the night 

Bragging Kiss FM rapper's delight 

(Appearing in the West End) 

Gerrard Street girl watch as I go 

My hungry blue eyes below your window 

(Appearing in the West End) 

If I could just speak Vietnamese 

You could be my best friend 

(Appearing in the West End) 

There's some great entertainment lined up for me 

On BBC1 

But meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue 

(Operating for fun, looking for a good time) 

Sophisticated sister, so much better at life than me 

Meet me on Shaftesbury Avenue 

Talk to me 

Dance with me 

Make love with me 

Make me somebody 

Make me somebody 

Make me somebody 

Make me somebody
