Stranglers - Uptown lyrics

Gonna garb my crop gonna grab my hat

Gotta change my situation

I'm gonna pick a steed who's been built for speed

Who's a flat-racing sensation

I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up

So I take my seat, I'm off to the meet

Don't know when I'm getting back

I don't care who wins as the race begins

It's a pleasure at the track

I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up

I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup

We're all meeting at the track uptown

We're all meeting at the track uptown

I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up

I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup

You gotta rein in strong, if the race is long

You'll be hoping for a place

Can you believe your luck

You're uptown and stuck

But every jockey won the race

I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up

I'm racing uptown, gotta win that cup

I'm racing uptown, gotta saddle up
