| A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
|
| The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
|
| Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
|
| Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
|
| Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
|
| Squalor and smoke’s not your style
|
| I don’t like this place
|
| We better go
|
| Then I compare notes with your older sister
|
| I am a lazy git, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
|
| What did you learn from your time in the solitary
|
| Cell of your mind
|
| There was noises, distractions from anything good
|
| And the old prison food
|
| Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
|
| 'Cause anything’s better than posh isolation
|
| I missed the bus
|
| You were laid on your back with
|
| the boy with the arab strap
|
| With the boy from the arab strap
|
| It’s something to speak of the way you are feeling
|
| To crowds there assembled
|
| Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
|
| Everyone suffers in silence a burden
|
| The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
|
| The Asian man
|
| With his love hate affair with his racist clientele
|
| A central location for you is a must as you stagger
|
| About making free with your lewd and lascivious boasts
|
| We all know you’re soft 'cause we’ve all seen you dancing
|
| We all know you’re hard 'cause we all saw you drinking
|
| From noon until noon again
|
| You’re the boy with the filthy laugh
|
| You’re the boy with the arab strap
|
| Strapped to the table with suits from the Shelter shop
|
| Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
|
| And sets off the smoke alarm
|
| What do you make of the cool set in London?
|
| You’re constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
|
| She’s a waitress and she’s got style
|
| Sunday bathtime could take a while |
