Dexys Midnight Runners - Geno

^C#Back in sixty, the ^Bweight of his work at de ^C#club (oh Ge^Bno) Before Jimmy's machine and the rocksteady rub (oh Geno) On a ^Bnight when flowers didn't ^F#msuit my tune, After a week of flunking and bunking school, Geno is heading the crowd that night Just practising steps and keeping out of the fights.

^AAcademic ^Einspiration, ^Byou gave me ^F#none, You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won, But now just look at me as I'm a-looking down on you, No I'm not being flash it's what I'm built to do.

^C#That man took the ^Bstage, his towel swinging ^C#high (oh Ge^Bno) This man was my bombers, my dexys, my highs (oh Geno) Oh, the ^Bcrowd they all hailed you, and ^F#mchanted your name, But they never knew, like we knew, me and you were the same, And now you're all over, your sound is so tame, Brrrrrri, you fed me and plainly I'll remember your name,

^AAcademic ^Einspiration, ^Byou gave me ^F#none, You were Michael the lover, the fighter that won, But now just look at me as I'm a-looking down on you, No I'm not being flash it's what I'm built to do.
