To the tune of their 1988 No.2 summer hit, The Harder I Try...

    I just got to see you,
    I know you are in Kings Cross now.
    I'm not gonna deceive you,
    They'll probably be some cops around.
    And even when you flashed infront of my Benz,
    I hoped you would grope me.
    As I started getting horny,
    The cops showed up outside.

    The harder I tried,
    I couldn't hide it away from them,
    It's slipping,
    The condom ouside,
    It spilt all on me...
