Street Hassle Lyrics


Simple Minds Street Hassle

(this song is a cover, originally written and performed by Lou Reed)
                     Waltzing Matilda looked at her wallet
                     The sexy one smiled in dismay
                     She pulled out four twenties
                     'Cause she liked round figures
                     Everybody stay for a day
                     I think I'm on fire and you know I admire you
                     Quiet, why don't we slip away
                     Although I'm sure you're certain
                     It's a rarity me flirting
Sha-la-la-la         They come on
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la      Come on slip away
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la
                     Cascading lowly, he entered her slowly
                     And showed her where he comin' from
And sha-la-la-la     Made love to her gently just like she had never cum
And sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la         When the sun rose she meant to leave
And sha-la-la-la-la
sha-la-la-la         You know, neither one regretted a thing
Say,
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
                     Come on slip away
Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la-la
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
Sha-la-la-la-la
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
                     Come on slip away
  [Sha-la-la-la no]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la no]
Sha-la-la-la-la      Slip away
  [Sha-la-la-la no]  Slip away
Sha-la-la-la-la      Come on slip away
  [Sha-la-la-la no]  Come on with me
  [Sha-la-la-la no]
                     They need your loving so badly
  [Sha-la-la-la no]  We need your loving so
                     Slip away
                     Come on slip away
  [Sha-la-la-la no]  Come on slip away
                     We need your loving so badly, yeah
                     Slip away
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la]
  [Sha-la-la-la-la no]
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
                     Love has gone away
                     She took the ring from my finger
                     And there's nothing left to say
                     We need your loving so badly
                     We need your loving so
                     Come on slip away
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la
                     Love has gone away
                     She took the ring from my finger
                     And there's nothing left to say
                     We need your loving so badly
                     We need your lovin' so badly
                     Slip away
                     We need your lovin' so
                     Slip away
                     Slip away
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la
