about

The dirtiest song I have ever written

lyrics

The first time I saw Joni
She was standing outside the London Motel
She was standing there
Arms all akimbo, leering @ the men
Driving by on their way to work.
Her eyes were wine-red...
They were redder than mine.
Joni had a room there @ The London Motel
She took me up there to her room
& I stayed for about twenty minutes
Then she sent me on my way.
I saw Joni many times after that.
I saw her @ The London & The Astro
& The Stardust & The Sands.
Joni wasn't like the other girls,
She never tried to steal my money or my dope
& she use to refer to me to the others
As her sometimes boyfriend.
I guess I kinda liked that...

The room was rich w magazines
The chain had been released.
In the darkness you could see
Her fingers sick w rings.
There were no more wedding bells
& the planes had split the trees.
There you sat on the edge of the bed
w The Queen of the London Scene.
It was a time of infamy
A time of fallen kings.
In the courtroom, you'd been laid bare
The truth had been decreed.
You thought you might get away
Aw, you thought that you might break free,
That's when you found out that you'd been ensnared
By The Queen of the London Scene.
In the orchard while you dreamed
A shadow did appear
There was something cold & dark
Poured in your ear.
You tried to listen & you tried to hear
But there were only screams
& a mouthful of bad advice
From The Queen of the London Scene
