Lyrics The Wildhearts

The Wildhearts

Velvet Presley

Velvet Presley lives in a hole

No one can stop those neighbours talking

Velvet Presley rock and roll

Thinking he looks like Christopher Walken

Listen and he'll tell you

Of the time when it was leaving

‘cos you never really had it that tough

And he's slick and he's beautiful

And he's the bastard son of a plastic gun

And no one dared tell where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

Velvet Presley filling his cup

A bottle a day without really trying

Velvet Presley living it up

Just as the conversation's dying

Teach you how to fake it

And the drug you should be taking

'cos you wouldn't wanna argue with the King

And he's slick

And he's beautiful

And he's more than wonderful, he's two-derful

And no one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, yeah

Velvet Presley where did you go?

I ended up under the pillow

And he's sick

But he's beautiful

He's inscrutable

And no one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

No one dared tell him where to stop, no

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
