Hey little sister, what have you done
Hey little sister, who's the only one
Hey little sister, who's your superman
Hey little sister, who's the one you want
Hey little sister, shotgun

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

Hey little sister, who is it you're with
Hey little sister, what's your vice and wish
Hey little sister, shotgun (oh yeah)
Hey little sister, who's your superman
Hey little sister, shotgun

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

(Pick it up)

Take me back home, yeah

Hey little sister, what have you done
Hey little sister, who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again
Come on, it's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again

There is nothin' fair in this world, baby
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again




It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again

Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun (oh yeah)

There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again (come on)

It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again

I was a black kid in the 80’s living in the hood listening and watching Billy Idol and I’m sure my parents thought I was fucking crazy listening to this dark music with some blonde white man wearing lipstick and screaming like a maniac. I turned out alright. For this reason, as a 50 year old I don’t judge what kids are listening to today.

@allisonday893

Absolutely agree! Now 48 and love my teens experimenting with their music and look. So many ‘shocking’ songs and artists. I just roll my eyes with a smile. Live and let live. You’re only young once (although I still feel 21!)

@misteeq6467

Nice to know i am not the only black that loves Billy

@ashleyhowell6246

Amen I'm mixed black and Italian my dad hated that I love all music but the metal and shit lol I'm 35 still jamming hell yeah

@trespire

@D Sherrill Billy Idol sure had that Mojo. And we all want some of it !!
N.B. As a young white Jewish lad I grew up in N.E. England listening to Eddie Grant in the early 80's. Good music knows no boundaries.
