Paroles de Upminster kid

When i was fifteen i had a black crepe jacket and sideboards to my chin
I used to go around in a two-tone zephyr with a mean and nasty grin
Twelve-inch bottoms on my stardust flares and socks of dazzling green
Well gene vincent craddock remembered the love of an upminster rock 'n' roll teen

Well the silver-dollar hairstyle been cut down, oooooh
With a silver-dollar hairstyle been cut down
Amazing that the feeling's still around

My good friend friar wore a powder-blue suit with criss-cross lurex thread
He turned seventeen bought a big motorcycle and started wearing leather instead
I could not afford a ruby snaffle tie or black suede clubbing shoes
Well gene vincent craddock, the people still move
Over when the upminster kid walked through

With a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down, oooooh
A silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down

Amazing that the feeling's still around

Sunday afternoon at the romford geumont, alternte version 'strolling
Down the road with my tight-sweater baby'
Rum and black at the bell hotel
He'd strole into the park, for a chumber in the dark, little juvenile never-do-well
He'd run a steel comb along the regent jukebox, a little bit of thieving now and then
Well gene vincent craddock remembered to look on an upminster kid again
Alternate version well gene vincent craddock i surely wish i were a upminster kid again

Well the silver-dollar hairstyle been cut down, ooooh
The silver-dollar hairstyle been cut down
Amazing that the feeling's still around

With a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
With a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
Amazing that the feeling's still around
