Bold Street – Eugene McGuinness
Intro: G, D, A, D7,
G
Black cab snapping at the heals of the ladies
D
Rushing windswept hair and scarves waving
A
Big issue man to wave salvation by the penny
D
Please give what you can, a penny if you have any
G
Coffee aromas swimming past the fruit stand
D
Drag at the corner in a pink polka dot headband
A
School boys are mean but who knows what there hiding
D
Time washes clean the masks in which we cry in
Em C G
Oh will I be lost in twilight, limo…??
Em C G
Oh me oh my I always find myself on this road
Second Verse
Fake American dinner plays me Mr Mustard
But Orpheus is really an old accordion busker
The mayor recites a Shakespearean sonnet
Saturday night bold streets caked in it’s own vomit
Burberry check, curb-side sex and police cars
She cuts through the chaos through the canvas like a shooting star
All slow motion now, can’t quite believe my black eye
This dark angel landed and obviously missed the war cry
Twinkle twinkle little star, how I wonder what you are
Like a diamond in the sky, will I make it out alive?
Chorus
Or will I be lost in twilight, limo…
Oh me oh my I always find myself on this road
Or will I be lost in twilight, limo…
Oh me oh my I always find myself on this road
