Lyrics
Putzu, Buenos Aires
I'm new
I wanna say I'm just a little stuck on you
You'll be on me too
I get out here, Buenos Aires
Stand back
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
Fill me up with your heat
With your noise, with your dirt
Overdo me
Let me dance to your beat
Make it loud, let it hurt
Run it through me
Don't hold back
You are certain to impress
Tell the driver this is where I'm staying
Hello, Buenos Aires
Get this
Just look at me, dressed up, somewhere to go
We'll put on a show
Take me in, it's your flood
Give me speed, give me lights
Let me humming
Shoot me up with your blood
Wind me up with your nights
Watch me coming
All I want is a whole lot of excess
Tell the singer this is where I'm playing
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of star quality
And if ever I go too far
It's because of the things you are
Beautiful town, I love you
And if I need a moment's rest
Give your love all the very best
We lie dead, gone, and silence
On the 9th February 1935 in Buenos Aires a polo match
Between a team of leading Argentine
Players and the touring British side
The British ambassador said he had never
Seen a social occasion quite like it
Even by the standards of Buenos Aires society
The gathering at the polo ground glittered
The Rolls and the Daimlers, the hampers
From Harrods, the clothes, the diamonds
The crystal, the wines, the procession
Of nannies from England and France
The result of the match? Oh yes, the home team won!
But, as the British ambassador pointed out, that
Did not reflect badly on British horsemanship
Three of the Argentine players were educated at Eton
You're a trap, you're a treat
You will shine 'til the death
You are shiny
But you're flesh, you are meat
You shall have every breath in my body
Put me down for a lifetime of success
Give me credit, I'll find ways of paying
Rio de la Plata
Florida
Calientes, Nueve de Julio
All I want to know
Stand back, Buenos Aires
Because
You oughta know what you're gonna get in me
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of
Just a little touch of star quality
