Lyrics of Geno by Dexys Midnight Runners
intro
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!
Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno! Geno!
verse
Back in '68, in a sweaty club
Oh, Geno
Before Jimmy's Machine and The Rocksteady Rub
Oh, Geno
pre-chorus
On a night when flowers didn't suit my shoes
After a week of flunkin' and bunkin' school
With the lowest head in the crowd that night
Just practicin' steps and keepin' outta fights
chorus
Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover, the fighter that won
But now just look at me as I'm looking down at you
No, I'm not bein' flash, it's what I'm built to do
verse
That man took the stage, his towel was swingin' high
Oh, Geno
This man was my bombers, my Dexy's, my high
Oh, Geno
pre-chorus
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, brrr
You fed me, you bred me, I'll remember your name
chorus
Academic inspiration, you gave me none
You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won
But now just look at me as I'm looking down on you
No, I'm not bein' flash, it's what I'm built to do
outro
Oh, Geno
Whoa, Geno
Oh, Geno
Whoa, Geno
Writer(s): Kevin Rowland, Kevin Archer
