Q&A
Creeping Up the Backstairs Lyrics
She said "I'm Rosie"
I said "I thought you were Lucy"
She said "No, Rosie, I told you so!"
Was here with your sister
But she's going out the back
I wanna dance and have fun y'know
Of all the shitty little places
I meet you it's here and I'm freaking out
I heard you got a brand new name
Selling E's in the dark
But hey it's nothing to shout about
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creeping up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door - my, my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys - bye bye
See your yellow fingers
And your crucifix bones
All covered in cellophane
Was there when your best friend said
"Sweetheart, I'm just here to get drunk again"
I wouldn't move if I was you, wouldn't want to get caught
When the lights go out she said
"You think you're so special," I said
"Sunshine I'm just bored I'm just checkin' out."
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creeping up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door my my
Climbing in your window
Get dressed, let's go
Take your brother's car keys
Bye bye
Don't just say yes to tease me
Do your utmost to please me
I don't mean to be sleazy
Being you can't be easy
When you're creeping up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door my my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let's go
Take your brother's car key
Bye bye
Creeping up the backstairs
Mother's nightmares
Falling in the front door my my
Climbing in the window
Get dressed let's go
Take your brother's car key
Bye bye
I said "I thought you were Lucy"
She said "No, Rosie, I told you so!"
Was here with your sister
But she's going out the back
I wanna dance and have fun y'know
Of all the shitty little places

Great song, about basically getting away and doing the things people don´t like their kids talking about. Fratellis are new to my ears and they are welcome there.
It's about sneaking out and having fun. Nothing wrong with that.
This is such a great song, just so much fun to dance to, i'm hoping to see these guys soon!
it's just a fantastic tune to dance around to. and it's about my home city! brilliant!
correct lyrics: she said i'm rosie. i said i thought you were lucy, she said i'm rosie i told you so.
proper good song to dance insanely to.
Awesome song, and totally agree...its a dancing tune if I ever heard one! Going seeing them next week, can't wait to get my groove on!!! Haha!
