Barry’s got two faces and a secret life
And no one else can understand why
He struggles through the day like a sore vampire And shelters in The City ‘til dark
But as the moon goes up and the sun goes down He turns into this Rock & Roll star
White collar in the day, black leather in the night It’s way too much for anyone
He had a flying V tattooed across his chest
His colleagues wouldn’t know what that means
But if you looked behind the pile of boring paperwork You wouldn’t find the guy you came to see
But as the moon goes up and the sun goes down He turns into this Rock & Roll star
White collar in the day, black leather in the night It’s way too much for anyone
The minute he hits the stage tonight
He’ll make you wanna burn your tie
Your life will pass across your eyes
When he plays that riff that breaks your heart
He lives in Camden Town with this wolverine
They share a tiny mezzanine
Where you can iron your shirt on a wooden surfboard And you can always squeeze another 12-inch
But when the moon goes up and the sun goes down He turns into this Rock & Roll star
White collar in the day, black leather in the night It’s way too much for anyone
The minute he hits the stage tonight
He’ll make you wanna burn your tie
Your life will pass across your eyes
When he plays that riff that breaks your heart
Barry’s got two faces and a secret life
And I will keep your secret if you can keep mine
Yes I can keep your secret if just keep mine
No I won’t give away your fears.
I won’t tell no one ‘cause we all hide some secret, we all know some stuff Yes I will keep your secret, I will carry it inside
I will keep your secret if you can keep mine
But when the moon goes up and the sun goes down He turns into this Rock & Roll star
White collar in the day, black leather in the night It’s way too much for anyone
The minute he hits the stage tonight
He’ll make you wanna burn your tie
Your life will pass across your eyes
When he plays that riff that breaks your heart
Barry’s got two faces and a secret life
