get on board, hitch a ride,

in a blaze of neon,

Worthington, Currie, Marsh, Osgood and Best.

7 Leave a comment on verse 7 0 Back heel, swerve, dummy,
the tricks of the trade,
Tiger Feet, quick feet,
R. White’s lemonade,
down the King’s Road
with the Spiders From Mars,
Likely Lads, scoring goals,
smoking cigars.

Worthington, Currie, Marsh, Osgood and Best.
