Artist: Morton Valence

album: Left


Dream boat coming in
Nice feeling
Nice feeling
Nice feeling
For a while
As honeymoons go I guess you'd call it a fairly long time
You get to the top and just stroll along
Here comes the nation's favourite son, oh it's great
To be number one
For a while
But still it's ok and the beat goes on
And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
There's dirt in her eye
And a shimmery gleam
Maybe things have gone
Just a little mainstream, but still it's ok
And the beat goes on
I hooked up with Mr. Chang
And I bought the hype
And I found myself in the West End
Virtually every night
Locked away with this fella
Whose name I don't recall
But he came on like some kind of chat-show host, still we
Woofed it down like we didn't care
And he looked at me with eyes that weren't really there
And I was talking to this girl, she had long red hair
She said, oh look, there's that thingy
And there's that, that whatsisname?
Not that I was really bothered
'Cause all I really wanted was just more cocaine
And I was on the way up from the underground
And I spat on the people who were on the way down
And my heart went boom fell off of my sleeve
And my sleeve was in the gutter and it was made out of gold
And it all we pouring down this
Big black hole
But still it's ok and the beat goes on
And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
Yeah there's dirt in her eye, and a shimmery gleam
Maybe things have gone
Just a little mainstream, but still it's ok
And the beat goes on
For a couple of years it all seemed to fall apart
And I found myself drinking cider in Vauxhall Park
With my old mate Tony and some of his freakish alcoholic friends
But I saw something more sincere in them
And I shaved my legs and I grew a beard
And we celebrated three hundred and sixty five days a year
But it wasn't a million miles away from where I'd been
Just a different pair of shoes but the same old skin
Yeah great for a while but it never lasts
And my stomach burst open like a broken glass
And I was to awake in this hospital bed
With a tube in my nose
And an aching bald head
And there was this beautiful nurse
And I, And I fell in love
She told me that here name was Veronica
And when I got well we met up for a drink
And we are 3 years later
Me, Veronica and the kids
Oh it's funny how things just rollercoaster around
When you're on the way up
You could be crashing down
But you never really know 'cause it could be the other way around
But still it's ok and the beat goes on
And she's dancing barefoot under a moonlit sun
There's dirt in her eyes and a shimmery gleam
Maybe things have gone just a little mainstream
But still it's ok
And the beat goes on
Dream boat coming in (Do-do-do)
Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
Nice feeling (Do-do-do)
Nice feeling
For a while
