lyrics
She with her red ruby lipstick,
Poised like a bird on the wire,
She with her leopard print shoes on
Her eyes flashing green were on fire.
He with his gold buttoned blazer,
He'd smile if his jeans weren't too tight.
He caught her eyes in the mirror
Of the unisex toilet that night.
The look on the face of East London,
Two Panthers about to break free.
She with her aubern curls fallen
Just to the hook of her nose
Uttered a word from her perfect red lips
As a petal might fall from a rose.
He with his designer moustache
A quivering on his top lip.
He reached out his signet ring finger
And followed the line of her hip.
The look on the face of East London,
Two Panthers about to break free.
Flashing like Egyptian emeralds,
Dashing at wild cat speed.
Crashing to eart in the morning,
The aftermath of the stampede.
They with their artistic apathy
Running amok in the street,
Leopard Print heels causing havoc,
Pipe cleaner jeans looking sweet.
He with his swallow tattoos
And she with her flashing green eyes,
They met their bo-ho-chic ending
When a wild cat ate them alive.
The look on the face of East London,
Two Panthers about to break free.
Flashing like Egyptian emeralds,
Dashing at wild cat speed.
Crashing to eart in the morning,
The aftermath of the stampede.
