Morten Abel - Birmingham Ho Lyrics
OK... Taxi!I met this girl in a Birmingham taxiI got it first, but she slipped in before meJust as I was telling her, hey this is mineShe already told the cab driver where to goMe I always show respect for the ladiesI sat back and let her have it her waySo good lord sees me through darkness and lightI tell you what I remembered from that nightI'm hungry, do you fancy a little something to eat?I can't go on forever on Cognac and weedBut she was already on the way down in the seatI tried to stop her, or maybe I didn'tSo there I was in a strange situationThe chauffeur said I can drop you off at the stationI said no man, no don'tI tell you when to stop keep your eyes on the roadYou don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKNo, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKYou don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKTwo hours later, she was still at itThe driver had to refill gasoline and shitBaby baby, introduce yourselfWhat's your name, girl?My name is FredFred?Fred, yeahFred, a'what a'what did you say?Now that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gayNow that put me back a bit 'cos I'm not gayYou don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKNo, you don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKYou don't have to be gay to make a friend feel good OKSo whatever kind of trouble you might get yourself intoJust think of me that night and what I went throughI thought it was Helen or Marie or whatever, giving me headUntil I realised it was this dude called Fred ...
