Arse-Kickin’ Lady From the North-West Songtext
von You Am I

Well, she breezed on through my hotel room
Like an interstate truck in the rain
She said she cut her teeth on Skinny Jim′s
There ain't no scales mapping out just what I think
She spun me a real good story
Never let the truth get in the way
That′s the reason I'm still standin' here today

Said she came on down from the north-west of town
In a ′63 Holden EJ
With potato from Kentucky and a fresh pack of Luckys
And a Bowie compilation tape
She spun me a real good story
Never let the truth get in the way
That′s the reason I'm still standin′ here
Reason I'm still standin′ here
Reason I'm still standin′ here today

C'mon David Bowie!


I left my brains in Hong Kong
Left my wallet in a two-dollar shirt
I remember every goddamn minute with you
Like a minute in a movie that hurts
I listened to a real good story
Never questioned anything
The sweet girl said
That's the reason I′m still standin′ here
The reason she's still standin′ here
Reason we're still standin′ here today

C'mon man!

I listened to a real good story
Never questioned anything
The sweet girl said
That′s the reason I'm still standin' here
The reason she′s still standin′ here
Reason we're still standin′ here today

Damn straight!
