Fish 'N' Chip Paper |
| When Sunday morning dandruff turns out to be confetti |
| And the cost of living in sin would make a poor man out of Paul Getty |
| The girl in your dreams would have you up on an under age charge |
| And the man of the moment is the lifer at large |
| Chorus: |
| If you’ve got something to hide, if you’ve got something to sell |
| If you’ve got somebody’s pride she might kiss and tell |
| Or wind up with a fight fan in the Hammersmith Hotel |
| You better speak up now if you want your piece |
| You better speak up now |
| It won’t mean a thing later |
| Yesterday’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chip paper |
| Your girl says she’s leaving and this time she really means it You can just look at the pictures, you don’t actually have to read it Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh |
| There’s a man in the launderette and he’s looking through your underwear |
| for clues |
| And the milkman is working through the News of the Screws |
| He says… |
| Chorus |
