Lyrics to Trash
Lyrics to the song Trash as recorded by Roxy Music.
(Ferry/Manzanera)
Are you costumized or ready-made?
Heavy metal, trick or treat?
Only seventeen
On the level
Trash is neat
Teenage fever oh you've got it bad
Caught the flavour want it all
Only seventeen
Bet you know
The trash I mean
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Trash
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Throw your features into magazines
Go to Plaza, where's the trade?
Only seventeen
Slips are lower
Trash is in
Trash
