Lyrics
Twiggy And The Shrimp (c) 2024 David A Briggs
Slide guitar intro:
With your eyes so blue and your long hair,
and your red shiny plastic mack.
You have the look of the moment,
It's a look that says, "we don't look back".
You're the new fashion icon,
photographically posed to impress.
Innocent and yet wistful, in your sky blue 'mini-dress'.
A halo of golden sunbeams, sparkle around your head.
but I'll never get to see you, like the guy with the Rolleiflex.
So let's not talk of tomorrow,
because today, the weekend starts here.
Everyone's dressed in their finest,
here, there and everywhere.
A halo of golden sunbeams, sparkle around your head.
but I'll never get to see you, like the guy behind the Rolleiflex.
Oh Leslie, do you see me?
I see you everywhere.
In magazines and on posters,
I can't but stop and stare.
Guitar solo:
So let's take a walk round the garden,
it's perfumed, or so I've been told.
It's peaceful and away from the madness,
with you, I'll never grow old.
A halo of golden sunbeams, sparkle around your head.
but I'll never get to have you, like the guy with the Rolleiflex.
Guitar solo and slow fade-out
