Seedy Films Lyrics
Soft Cell
Sleazy city
Seedy films
Breathing so heavy
Next to my neighbour
Let's get acquainted
Getting to know you
Feeling sleazy
In sleepy sin city
Chorus:
Sleazy city
Sleepy people
Down your alleys
Seems that anything goes
Blue film flicker
Hands of a stranger
Getting to know you
Getting to know you
Hey that's fine
Got no time
Meet me on Friday
Down in blue city
Got no address
Just a telephone number
Phone me tonight
And maybe we can talk dirty
Chorus
Hey isn't that you on the screen
Isn't that you on the screen
(No that's not me
