  • Gina in the King's Road, 1968
    Blonde hair and eyeshadow, I hyperventilate
    Purple leather mini, legs up to there
    Don't you cast aspersions on my Naugahyde affair

    [Chorus]
    And she can make you believe
    You're feeling almost sincere
    And every day's New Years Eve
    She's giggling in your ear
    And yet she's so hard to reach
    Although she's so close at hand
    I'm like a wave on her beach
    Sinking in the sand

    Everyone went out with her, everyone knew why
    No one ever stayed around, no one ever tried
    Now Gina drowns her sorrows, drinks away the night
    She's wrapped around some stranger, hanging on for life

    [Chorus]

    Now Gina in the King's Road, in a raincoat shimmering white
    Hands thrust in her pockets like Julie Christie might
    Looks up into other distance, puckers up her lips
    I don't stop to talk to her,we're just passing ships

    [Chorus] Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind

  • Guy from Woodinville, WaGreat song from the amazingly productive Al. Love those opening lines: "Blonde hair and eyeshadow, I hyperventilate; Purple leather mini, legs up to there; Don't you cast aspersions on my naugahyde affair."
