Come on eileen (from "the perks of being a wallflower")

by The Academy Allstars

on Music From: This Is England / Billy Elliot (2010)

[come on eileen]
[come on eileen]

Poor old Johnny Ray sounded sad upon the radio
He broke a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them?

You're grown (you're grown up)
So grown (so grown up)
Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo rye aye
And we can sing just like our fathers

Come on Eileen, oh, I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh come on Eileen

[come on eileen]
These people round here, were beaten down eyes
Sunk in smoke dried faces, so resigned to what their fate is
But not us, (no never)
No not us (no never)
We are far to young and clever
(Remember)
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo rye aye
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever

Come on Eileen, oh, I swear (well he means)
Oh come on let's, take off everything
That pretty red dress Eileen tell him yes
Oh come on let's, oh come on Eileen
That pretty red dress Eileen tell him yes
Ah come on lets
Come on Eileen
Please

Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye
Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye too ra too ra too loo ra
Now you are grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye
Come on, Eileen taloo-rye-aye too ra too ra too loo ra
There's things that are good
You've grown
So grown
Show, how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed
I said too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-ra aye

Come on Eileen, oh, I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
You in that dress, my thoughts, I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah come on Eileen

Come on Eileen, Oh I swear (well he means)
At this moment, you mean everything
(In that dress), whoa, my thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen
