Street Hassle - Digitally Remastered 1992

Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet
 Sexy boys smiled in dismay
 She took out four twenties 'cause she liked round figures
 Everybody's queen for a day
 Oh, babe, I'm on fire, and you know that I admire your body
 Why don't we slip away?
 Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin'
 Sha-la-la-la this way, hey
 Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la, hey, baby
 Come on, let's slip away
 ♪
 Luscious and gorgeous, oh, what humping muscle
 Call out the National Guard
 She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her knees
 From off of the Formica topped bar
 And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly
 Out of this world
 And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion
 And sha-la-la-la-la later on
 And then sha-la-la-la-la
 He entered her slowly and showed her where he was coming from
 And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently
 It was like she'd never ever come
 And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
 When the sun rose and he made to leave
 You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la
 Neither one regretted a thing
 Slip away
 ♪
 Hey, that cunt's not breathing
 I think she's had too much of something or other
 Hey, man, you know what I mean?
 I don't mean to scare you
 But you're the one who came here
 And you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave
 I'm not being smart, or trying to be cold on my part
 And I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve
 But you know, people get all emotional
 And sometimes, man, they just don't act rationally, oh
 They think they're just on TV
 Sha-la-la-la-la, man
 Why don't you just slip her away?
 ♪
 You know, I'm glad that we met, man
 It was really nice talking
 And I really wish that there was a little more time to speak
 But you know it could be a hassle
 Trying to explain myself to a police officer
 About how it was your old lady who got herself stiffed
 And it's not like we could help
 But there was nothing no one could do
 And if there was, man, you know I would have been the first
 But when someone turns that blue, well, it's a universal truth
 Then you just know that bitch will never fuck again
 By the way, that's really some bad shit
 That you came to our place with
 But you ought to be more careful around the little girls
 It's either the best or it's the worst
 And since I don't have to choose, I guess I won't
 And I know this ain't no way to treat a guest
 But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet
 And just lay her out in the darkest street
 And by morning, she's just another hit-and-run
 You know, some people got no choice
 And they can never find a voice
 To talk with that they can even call their own
 So the first thing that they see that allows them the right to be
 Why, they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck
 ♪
 Well hey, man, that's just a lie
 It's what she tells her friends
 'Cause a real song, the real song she won't even admit to herself
 The beating in her heart
 It's a song lots of people know
 It's a painful song
 With a load of sad truth
 But life's full of sad songs
 Penny for a wish
 But wishin' won't make you so, Joe
 But a pretty kiss or a pretty face can't have its way
 Joe, tramps like us, we were born to pay
 
 Love has gone away
 And there's no one here now
 And there's nothing left to say
 But oh, how I miss him, baby
 Oh, baby, come on and slip away
 Come on, baby
 Why don't you slip away?
 ♪
 Love has gone away
 Took the rings off my fingers
 And there's nothing left to say
 But oh, how, oh, how I need it, baby
 Come on, baby, I need you, baby
 Oh, please don't slip away
 I need your loving so bad, babe
 Please don't slip away
