Skinhead Love Affair Lyrics
I met her at a ballroom gig
She said my braces were to big
I said "I like your 2tone clothes"
She said "I like your broken nose"
I bought her alot of drinks that night
She bought me nothing but a fight
She said i wasn't mister right
Its over its over its over
It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair
I took her down to last resort
She stole a shirt,i went to court
She said she'd always stand by me
Even when i did D.C
I thought about her everyday
Like lovers do when they're away
She never came to visit me
Its over its over its over
It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair
On the day that I got out
My skinhead she werent about
She got herself a soul girl perm
Joined the Canvey Island firm
I got down on bended knee
And asked her if she'd marry me
She said "SKINHEAD CANT YOU SEE?"
Its over its over its over
It was a skinhead love affair
You know a skinhead love affair
Just a skinhead in love
Just a skinhead in love
A skinhead, a skinhead, a skinhead in love
Im just a skinhead in love
(repeat to end)
