Going Down Town Tonight Status Quo Back to Back 1983 There are two versions of this kicking about. This is the album version. (The single version is recorded about a semitone higher) || || || || I’m going down town tonight I’m gonna find myself a dream I’m gonna dress up right and be the best they’ve ever seen You can tell from their eyes you can tell from their eyes That they’re never impressed that they’re never impressed From the way they walk round from the way they walk round They are used to the best they are used to the best Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise ’cos when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face If you speak the right words if you speak the right words They will hear what you say they will hear what you say They will take your attention just take your attention And then turn away and then turn away Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night Just one thing I have to say I’ve got you and you’re Confident and debonair you move between the stars Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night And so I’m home alone I wash my head and hold on tight If you speak the right words if you speak the right words They will hear what you say they will hear what you say They will take your attention just take your attention And then turn away and then turn away Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Going down town tonight going down town tonight Pretty much it...
