lyrics

When the city seems a thousand miles away
Standing pretty with no one else to hear it sing
No more drinking no more drugs
No more parties until dawn dance the night away
No more kisses no more hugs
No more barking of the dogs, just the same as yesterday
Today’s like yesterday

Sinnin’ City on a Saturday Night
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
I don’t know if I’ll make it alright
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sitting at home and remembering old times
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sinnin’ city on a Saturday night

Silent city, like a ship without a sail
Piercing through, is the urgent siren’s wail
Why can’t it be just like before
Nights we packed on the dance floor
Is it ever more?
Confine we will to carry on, til the virus is gone
Open all the doors
We’ll open all closed doors

Sinnin’ City on a Saturday Night
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
I don’t know if I’ll make it alright
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sitting at home and remembering old times
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sinnin’ city on a Saturday night

Oh sinning’, sinnin’ city
Well I remember the way it used to be
You and me and the devil makes three
Walking around from bar to party
Taking shots and acting naughty
Kissing toys and making noise
Street walking in heels with perfect poise
Remembering how it used to be
Burning, flaming, flaming, raging city!

Sinnin’ City on a Saturday Night
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
I don’t know if I’ll make it alright
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sitting at home and remembering old times
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sinnin’ city on a Saturday night
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sinnin’ city on a Saturday night
(Shoo wop shoo wop, shoo wop shoo wop)
Sinnin’ city

about

The Fauxs Portland, Oregon

The Fauxs are Portland’s femme punk powerhouse, alchemizing bubbly guitar hooks, glam-influenced harmonies and a driving, melodic rhythm section into something between a protest and a party. They deliver a compact burst of feminist discontent with songs that bop heads and encourage singalongs.

Melanie Hindman (vox/guitar), Aliah O’Neill (guitar), Tara Umesh (bass), and Kara Lancaster (drums).
