I wanna take you to the Garden of Eden

Where they play Duane Eddy not Bert Weedon

Wanna mingle with the riff raff and be a rebel

So echo the bass and turn up the treble

Oh yeah, oh yeah



I wanna smoke my cigarettes in peace

I wanna brush out the parting and comb in the grease

I wanna trade my tie for studs and buckles

And tattoo your name across my knuckles

Oh yeah



I wanna tell the world she belongs to me

I wanna carve the news in the bark of a tree

A cupids heart with an arrow going through it

The stupid part is even then I knew she was wrong for me

Oh yeah



I was as jealous as hell cause he was just a kid

And he could walk on the waltzers like Jesus did

He said you try it, I said it's a piece of cake

But I knew he knew, I was a worm not a rattlesnake

Oh yeah



The summer rolled by like a white walled tyre

Then the candyfloss became barbed wire

She said, you're different you're not the same

You're just a jew looking for a christian name

Oh yeah, oh yeah



Then they chased me through a booming cage of arks

Oh hissing blue Flash Gordon sparks

Where dodgems dance on clubbed iron feet

Kicking each other to death to the beat

Oh yeah



How come you still invade my dreams

You belong in my Quiff Street fairground teens

I don't even know if she's still alive

If she is, she's probably married with five kids by now

Oh yeah



And I wonder if her husband carries a gun

Did he throw away his life in a chicken run

You know I think she made a big mistake

She should have fallen in love with the worm not the rattlesnake

Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
