Lyrics

I can't turn you off

I just try and let you off

Tom verlaine you may be art

But you sure ain't rock 'n' roll

(Chorus)

People standing in the rain

Just to see a dream verlaine

Supersonic, oh come back soon

Cos all we got is a marquee moon

Billy ficca don't waste my time

Just turn on to "whats my line"

Richard lloyd you hear us knock

You sure have wrote "the golden shot"

(Chorus)

Old fred smith works for the pox

Oh what a haggard face

Hope he gets lots of shocks

From his fender bass
