kilburn the high roads - upminster kid lyrics
when i was fifteen i had a black-blue 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
when gene vincent craddock remembered the look of an
upminster rock ‘n’ roll teen
with a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
amazing that feeling’s still around
my good friend friar wore a powder-blue suit, a criss-
cross lurex thread
he turned seventeen bought a big motorcycle, he started
wearing leather instead
i could not afford a ruby snaffle tie or a black suede
fur lined shoes
the gene vincent craddock that people still remember
when the upminster kid walked through
with a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
amazing that feeling’s still around
sunday afternoon at the romford gaumont, rum and black
at the bell hotel
he stole into the park, for a jabba in the dark, little
juvenile ne’er-do-well
he’d run a steel comb along the regent jukebox, a
little bit of fever now and then
the gene vincent craddock i surely wish i was an
upminster kid again
with a silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
the silver-dollar hairstyle, been cut down
amazing that feeling’s still around
