about

This song is years old now but i still like it and I hope you do too.

lyrics

I first saw her walking up Carnaby Street
She looked so cool, yeah she looked so sweet.
I said, 'Let's get some coffee - it's my treat'
I never knew that I would end up some deadbeat.
She left me in ruins!

I invited her home, she checked out my gaff
I said. 'Sorry for the mess, I can't get the staff'
We curled up on the sofa having drinks and laughs
I never thought she'd lead me up the garden path
She left me in ruins!

She soon moved in and started wearing my shirts
She wore the trousers and I wore her skirts
I liked to party, she loved to flirt
I never thought I'd end up face down in the dirt
She left me in ruins!

She took every penny I earned
You'd think by now I would've learned
You'd think by now Iwould've been taught
That pretty girls can't be bought

I saw her the other day going up Carnaby Street
Some guy on her arm, his suit was pressed and neat
I said, 'Hey buddy! Watch your back - she ain't so sweet
He punched me in the head and knocked me off my feet
And left me in ruins
She left me in ruins
She left me in June
She left me in ruins
Oh, she left me in ruins!

The band’s popularity was much increased after a song was featured at the end of the ‘No Dogs In Space’ podcast (Dead Kennedys - Episode 2). ... more
