Dirty Mind

Shakespear's Sister


Ladies and gentleman 
For your listening pleasure 
Live from England: 
The solid state sound of pure sex... 

In the corner shops times are hard 
Faces thin as credit cards 
I walk past posters selling simple sex, ooh! 
And all the records using cheap effects 
I'm going down to the station in the heart of town 
To buy a ticket just to hang around 

I've got a dirty mind 
I've got a dirty mind 
Take a look at yourself 

You stare are you looking at me 
Or just an image from your colour TV 
Dollar signs and neon lights 
Shine on the people every night 
I'm going down to the river to wash my sins away 
But they'll be back tomorrow anyway 

I've got a dirty mind 
I've got a dirty mind 
Take a look at yourself 

I've got imagination 
I got hallucinations 
Do you want some? 

I've got a dirty mind 
I've got a dirty mind 
Take a look at yourself 

Smelling like a rose 
Looking like a queen 
I'll have a double dose If you know what I mean 
Went down to the river 
With no one to trust 
When you know what you want 
Then you do what you must 
But you'd better think smart 
And take my advice 
Just think of nothing 
And double it twice 
I bought you a trumpet 
And a brand new suit 
Just don't be disappointed
