i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
She lives on Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
And they should scatter flowers at her feet
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
But when they come calling I think it's appalling
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
They're sober and they're polite
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
They're deeply respectful when I would expect them
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
To keep her out all night
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
That little martinet
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Will get her own way yet
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
If you need instruction in mindless destruction
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
I'll show you a thing or two
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
You used to adore me but now my life flashes before me
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
For you to view
i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Oh mother, oh mother, sometimes you are so mortifying
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
From the hole in your leopard skin tights I can tell you've been spying
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
But your generation confesses before it transgresses
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Those Super-8 movies of daddy in your disco dresses
i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
If you're going out tonight
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
I won't wait up
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Reading Das Kapital
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Watching Home Shopping Club
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
While you're flogging a dead horse
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
All the way down Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Where you live after a fashion
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
All the way down Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
That lives on, that lives on, that lives on
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Daughter, oh daughter, you know I will love you forever
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
But spare me the white ankle socks with the lace and the leather
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
For you and your cartoon threat do no good to resist me
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
For I am the genuine thing but for you it's just history
i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
If you're going out tonight
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
How can you be sure
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Where you lay your pretty head
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Mother may have been before
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
So you're flogging a dead horse
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
All the way down Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
Where you live after a fashion
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
All the way down Pony Street
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
The life and the soul of every indiscretion
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
That lives on [5x]
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
She lives on Pony Street [2x]
i5c11218i2221416dcc10
She lives on, she lives on [2x]
i5c11218i2221416dcc10

i5c11218i2221416dcc10
