Back Street Slide Lyrics

The song Back Street Slide is performed by Richard & Linda Thompson in the album named Shoot Out the Lights in the year 1991 .



Those backstreet women, watch what you say

You turn your back and they slide away

They run next door, they give it all away

Doing the slide

The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide

Gatemouth woman leaning on the fence

She's got no teeth, she's got no sense

You don't need much intelligence

Doing the slide

The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide

Slide over here, slide over there

Spreading that scandal everywhere

Stab you in the back and they just don't care

Doing the slide

Now slander is a loving tongue

They speak your name to everyone

Never is a curse left unsung

Doing the slide

The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide

The backstreet slide, the backstreet slide

They're gonna get you, dead or alive

Stab you in the back with a kitchen knife

Doing the backstreet slide

Do it all day, the backstreet slide
