Big Apple Blues (Jim Lea; Noddy Holder)
Ahh, city streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep Woah, what a sight all the yellow and tans and the black and whites There's also a dark shade of blue, just strutting along two by two Their guns hanging low like the cowboys you dig in the old gunfights
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues And I got hung up on them big apple blues And I got strung up on them big apple blues I ain't got nothing to lose
Them hot licks from the hicks satisfy the Manhattan chicks Them cool schmucks get their hooks on the bucks with their sexy looks Woah, they all know how to do what good little girls shouldn't do Oh, I don't care 'bout evasion cause all of that hassle sucks
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues And I got hung up on them big apple blues And I got strung up on them big apple blues I ain't got nothing to lose, ah
I got, got turned on, I got, got turned on I got, got turned on, I got, got turned on I got, got turned on, I got, got turned on I got, got turned on, I got, got turned on I got, got turned on, I got, got hooked on I got, got switched on, I got, got turned on I got, got turned on, I got, got hooked on I got, got switched on, I got, got turned on, yeah-eh-eh
Oh, city streets where the steam and the heat never goes to sleep And city walls standing tall, if you fall no-one hears you call And there are bodies all filled up with wine, saying buddy have you got a dime The apple ain't bad, it's just bruised and I'm glad that it's there at all
But still I got hooked on them big apple blues And I got hung up on them big apple blues Well I got turned on, switched on, hooked on them big apple blues I got hooked on, snooked on, cooked on them big apple blues Why I got turned on, turned on, turned on, turned on to them blues Why I got hooked on, cooked on, snooked on them big apple blues And I got hooked on them big apple blues I ain't got nothing to lose
