lyrics

Matador
Meet me at the Matador
I’ll be there just after 4
We’ll scrape our boots across the wooden floor
once again

Charmaine arrives after last call
lets the drunks and the punks into the hallowed hall
Where the famous and those hiding from the law
Are welcomed in

Tear it down, don’t tear it down
Tear it down, don't tear it down,
Tear it down, don't tear it down
Don’t tear the grand old lady of Dovercourt
Don’t tear it down, don't tear it down

Guitar splashes into the alleyway
We all love to listen to Johnnie Lovesin play
Rocker boys play George Jones that way
Loud and in your face

CHORUS

Bazil passed out on a folding chair
Ann Dunn cut off his new-wave hair
Put it in a frame above the stairs
Leading to the stage

CHORUS

When Jeanne would dance
we all would watch
Kitty Galore in a cowboy top
Zeta sold the hottest dogs
They never seem to age

Tear it down, don’t tear it down
Tear it down, don't tear it down,
Tear it down, don't tear it down
Don’t tear the grand old matriach of Dovercourt
Don’t tear it down, don't tear it down
