geno - dexys midnight runners

Back in '68 in a sweaty club (Oh Geno)
Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub (Oh Geno)

On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes

After a week of flunking and bunking school

The lowest head in the crowd that night

Just practicing steps and keeping out of the fights

Academic inspiration, you gave me none

But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won

And now just look at me as I'm looking down on you

No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do

That man took the stage, his towel was swinging high (Oh Geno)

This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high (Oh Geno)

The crowd, they all hailed you and chanted your name

But they never knew like we knew me and you were the same

And now you're all over, your song is so tame

You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name

Academic inspiration, you gave me none

But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won

And now just look at me as I'm looking down on you

No I'm not being flash, it's what I'm built to do

Oh Geno
