Kings & Queens Of The UndergroundBilly Idol

Released: October 17, 2014

Songwriter: Billy Morrison Steve Stevens Billy Idol

Producer: Trevor Horn

Born in a time that wasn’t made to last. In 1977 it went fast
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit
And then ‘Kiss me deadly’ and we had a hit
Last night in the Roxy we fucked on the floor
Shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored

But if you are here tonight – And you hear these sounds
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground
I don’t mean to be profound but if I’m still around
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the underground

1984 ‘Rebel Yell’ had the floor
And all we said was ‘more more more’
Well I touched you with my ‘Eyes Without A Face’
I was ‘Hot in the City. Yes I thought I was ace
But I didn’t know then when I was in your front room
On MTV baby I was high as the moon

Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years

Sold all my vinyl – It went up my arm
And I thought rock n roll couldn’t do me no harm
Now I’m rolling a joint, yes I’m dressed in black
If we lose the music baby we can never go back

Jonesy said, ‘Bill, don’t be profound
If you are still a King of the underground’
If you hear my voice, dig these Rebel sounds
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground
If you hear my voice and I’m still around…
Then we are still Kings and Queens of the Underground

Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years
Oooh Golden years

Billy Idol

Billy Idol is an English rock musician, songwriter and actor. Born in Stanmore, Middlesex, Idol first achieved fame in the punk rock era as a member of the band Generation X. Unlike other British punk rock artists of his era, Idol was inspired by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones.

Idol then embarked on a successful solo career, and was a member of the MTV-driven “Second British Invasion” of the United States. A series of music videos for songs such as “Dancing With Myself”, “White Wedding”, “Rebel Yell” and “Eyes Without a Face” made him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour with guitarist Steve Stevens.

Idol’s 1987 release, “Mony Mony” reached #1 on the US top 40 charts; his songs to chart in the top 10 include: White Wedding, Eyes Without a Face, To Be a Lover and Cradle of Love.
