String Driven Thing - Regent Street Incident lyrics

All human life's here Said the junkie to the queer As they helped the stricken drag star to her feet And cradling her between them They made their quiet way To a fancy little bar across the street Now I was sitting in the corner When the trio made their entrance And they sat down at the table next to mine While the junkie poured out a water The boy went mescala And the queen let the waiter choose the wine Well I've seen it all before Said a body from the floor There ain't nothing in this town that's new to me Now it transpired that the boy Had been brutally attacked By someone whome he'd taken for a ride And money had been pa**ed But the goods were not in hand At least not those that had been advertised And he lay there on the ground And the city lights shone down on him And the crowds walked around him on the street And he lay there on the ground Till the junkie and the queen arrived To help him to his feet Well I've seen it all before Said a body from the floor There ain't nothing in this town that's new to me
