C             D             Em
Born in a time that wasn’t made to last.
In 1977 it went fast
Johnny told us to rise, not to give a shit
     Em            D              C
And then ‘Kiss me deadly’ and we had a hit

Last night in the Roxy we fucked on the floor
Shot up in the bathroom and said we were bored

Chorus:
    G                            D
If you are here tonight and you hear these sounds
        Am                           C      D
We are still Kings and Queens of the underground
         G                         D
I don't mean to be profound but if I'm still around
        Am                           C     D    Em
We are still Kings and Queens of the underground, Oh yeah

1984 ‘Rebel Yell’ had the floor
And all we said was ‘more more more’
Well I touched you with my ‘Eyes Without A Face’
I was ‘Hot in the City. Yes I thought I was ace

But I didn’t know then when I was in your front room
On MTV baby I was high as the moon

Chorus

Em    F#     G      A
Oooh, Oooh, Golden years
Em    F#     G      A
Oooh, Oooh, Golden years
Em    F#     G      A
Oooh, Oooh, Golden years
Em    F#     G      A
Oooh, Oooh, Golden years

Sold all my vinyl – It went up my arm
And I thought rock n roll couldn’t do me no harm
Now I’m rolling a joint, yes I’m dressed in black
If we lose the music baby we can never go back

Chorus:
If you are here tonight and you hear these sounds
We are still Kings and Queens of the underground
I don't mean to be profound but if I'm still around
We are still Kings and Queens of the underground

Jonesy said, "Bill, don't be profound
If you are still a king of the underground"
If you hear my voice and you dig these rebel sounds
Still Kings and Queens of the Underground

Here tonight I wanna dig these sounds
I'm still a king of the underground
If you hear my voice dig these rebel sounds
We are still Kings and Queens of the underground

Oooh, Oooh, Golden years
Oooh, Oooh, Golden years
