| Oh it’s the crooked leg, the crooked mile
|
| The hotel lift and a menacing smile
|
| The energy of an itinerant child
|
| To catch a glimpse of Mr Oscar Wilde
|
| Waterborn, Southend on Sea
|
| Twisted, bent, disability
|
| Lord Upminster, Bo Diddley and Richard the Third
|
| With the most unroyal mouth that you’ve ever heard
|
| He’s never gonna do it, oh he has and all
|
| They’re smiling politely, but they’re really appalled
|
| And it’s turned out oranges and lemons again
|
| All three bells in a row
|
| We’re in and out of the Eagle
|
| And up and down the City Road
|
| Sweet Gene Vincent, mean old Ronnie Kray
|
| The low-slung slouch of the bird of prey
|
| Trouser pocket boys in unromantic places
|
| Cigarettes falling from their sallow faces
|
| He’s never gonna do it, oh he has and all
|
| They’re smiling politely, but they’re really appalled
|
| And it’s turned out oranges and lemons again
|
| All three bells in a row
|
| We’re in and out of the Eagle
|
| And up and down the City Road
|
| Lurking in the doorway of every town
|
| Rough kids rally with their sorrows drowned
|
| Burnt out faces and their ash-tray eyes
|
| Up goes the cry through the perforated skies
|
| He’s never gonna do it, oh he has and all
|
| They’re smiling politely, but they’re really appalled
|
| And it’s turned out oranges and lemons again
|
| All three bells in a row
|
| We’re in and out of the Eagle
|
| And up and down the City Road
|
| Turned out oranges and lemons again
|
| All three bells in a row
|
| We’re in and out of the Eagle
|
| And up and down the City Road |
