Julie Covington – Buenos Aires

EVA

What’s new, 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 running 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, dressеd up, somewhere to go
Wе’ll put on a show!

Take me in at your flood
Give me speed, give me light, set me humming
Shoot me up with your blood
Wine 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 lover the very best
Real eiderdown—and silence

You’re a tramp, you’re a treat
You will shine to the death, you are shoddy
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! Corrientes! 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!
