West End Girls

1. Sometimes youre better off dead
Theres gun in your hand
And its pointing at your head
You think youre mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a west end town
Call the police, theres a madman around
Running down underground to a dive bar
In a west end town.

[Chorus:]
In a west end town, a dead end world
The east end boys and west end girls
In a west end town, a dead end world
The east end boys and west end girls
West end girls.

2. Too many shadows, whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what
How much have you got
Have you got it
Do you get it, if so, how often
And which do you choose
A hard or soft option
(how much do you need?).

[Chorus]

(how much do you need?) .

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Youve got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait till I get you home
Weve got no future, weve got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From lake geneva to the finland station
(how far have you been?).

[Chorus]

[Coda:]
West end girls.

West end girls
(how far have you been?).

Girls
East end boys
And west end girls
And west end girls
And west end girls.

East end boys
The west end girls
The west end boys
And west end girls.

The west end girls
The west end boys
The west end girls.
