Al Stewart - Gina In The Kings Road

Al Stewart - Gina in the Kings Road



Gina in the King's Road, 1968


Blonde hair and eyeshadow, I hyperventilate


Purple leather mini, legs up to there


Don't you cast aspersions on my naugahyde affair



And she can make you believe


You're feeling almost sincere


And every day's New Years Eve


She's giggling in your ear


And yet she's so hard to reach


Although she's so close at hand


I'm like a wave on her beach


Sinking in the sand



Everyone went out with her, everyone knew why


No one ever stayed around, no one ever tried


Now Gina drowns her sorrows, drinks away the night


She's wrapped around some stranger, hanging on for life



repeat chorus



Now Gina in the King's Road, in a raincoat shimmering white


Hands thrust in her pockets ike Julie Christie might


Looks up into othe distance, puckers up her lips


I don't stop to talk to her,we're just passing ships



repeat chorus
