Going Down Lyrics

Dawn sings in the garden
Phone sings in the hall
This boy's dead from two day's life
Resurrected by the call
Penny here, we've got to come
So come on round to me
There's so much penny lying here
To touch, taste and tease

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming round

Penny's place, a crummy room
Her dansette crackles to Jimi's tune
I don't care, I taste ambre solaire
Her neck, her thighs, her lips, her hair

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9

Yeah she looks like a painting
Jackson Pollock's number 5
Come into the forest and taste the trees
The sun starts shining and i'm hard to please

Ring a ding ding ding i'm going down
I'm coming around

All thoughts of sleep desert me
There is no time
30 minutes brings me round to her number 9

To look down on the clouds
You don't need to fly
I've never flown in a plane
I'll live until I die

Awesome track.

As mentioned about oral sex and I can tell you its not a good idea to sing "ring a ding ding ding i'm going down" when you are literally about to go down on your bird, kind of spoils the moment!

penny here etc, could that be the girl penny on the phone saying 'penny here, weve got to come!' and so on?

This is a song blatantly about oral sex! It's mainly about giving it, but the last verse is about receiving. And the girl in the song gives dynamite head, it would seem.

Totally flippin' tune! TSR stand for 79% of everything good that came out of Madchester.

79%? That's very specific! I agree with all the previous posts, but does anyone know what the first verse is about?

"This boy's dead from two day's life Resurrected by the call Penny here, we've got to come So come on round to me There's so much penny lying here To touch, taste and tease"

@Marmsy he's well hung over, hears the phone ring and knows it's our penny asking for it so

"79%? That's very specific!" Haha, aye! But I'll change the number to 49%, I might have been a bit optimistic with 79%!

I feel that the first verse is about the lad doing all the oral sex is absolutley beat after two days of hard partying. But then gets up and running again Penny calls him over to get cracking at her.
