The Stamping Ground |
The stamping ground, |
The stamping ground. |
All your old gang |
still hang around. |
Coming in with the same blokes, |
going home with the same jokes, |
if you ever go missing |
I know where you’ll be found: |
the stamping ground. |
The big fella on the front door knows your face. |
The barman pretends that he’s saved you a place, |
but when your back is turned |
they say she’s older than she tells. |
I could stand the main attraction, |
but not the clientele. |
The stamping ground, |
The stamping ground. |
All your old gang |
still hang around. |
Coming in with the same blokes, |
going home with the same jokes, |
if you ever go missing |
I know where you’ll be found: |
the stamping ground. |
Everybody knows |
evrybody’s trouble, |
who comes in alone, |
who leaves as a couple. |
When they seen you coming, babe, |
they act like they’re pleased to meet you. |
Say «It's very nice to know you, |
but I wouldn’t want to be you.» |
The stamping ground, |
The stamping ground. |
All your old gang |
still hang around. |
Going home with the same blokes, |
going home with the same jokes, |
if you ever go missing |
I know where you’ll be found: |
the stamping ground. |
You talk like you don’t have a brain in your head. |
You act like you don’t have a care in your bed. |
Th lights are on, |
there’s no one home, |
it scares you to death. |
You stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath. |
The stamping ground, |
The stamping ground. |
All your old gang |
still hang around. |
Going home with the same blokes, |
going home with the same jokes, |
if you ever go missing |
I know where you’ll be found: |
the stamping ground. |
The stamping ground. |
The stamping ground. |
The stamping ground. |
The stamping ground. |
