Richard Thompson - Back Street Slide lyrics

Those backstreet women, watch what you say You turn your back and they slide away They run next door, they give it all away Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence She's got no teeth, she's got no sense You don't need much intelligence Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide Slide over here, slide over there Spreading that scandal everywhere Stab you in the back and they just don't care Doing the slide Now slander is a loving tongue They speak your name to everyone Never is a curse left unsung Doing the slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide They're gonna get you, dead or alive Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife Doing the backstreet slide Do it all day, the backstreet slide
