Oliver Twist |
| With a calm and strategic no |
| I’m back and I’m solo |
| This is the Oliver Twist manifesto |
| For the age I was born, for Victoriana |
| This is Oliver Twist pissing over Britannia |
| 50 years of Tin Pan Alley |
| I learned good from a king thief mentor |
| 200 years of teenage anarchy |
| Papist threats and no popery |
| Revenge ??? |
| the cold in Soho |
| This is the Oliver Twist manifesto |
| Totality for the kids |
| Oliver Twist |
| This is Oliver Twist |
| There was this gang who I used to run with |
| Swindlers, knaves, urchins scum, spivs |
| Looking good comes in handy |
| When you’re dipping in the pockets of a dandy |
| And there’s murder in the air at the Connelli room |
| And there’s treason in the air at the Groucho |
| If there’s a TV pop in the Soho house |
| It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to tell you |
| That it’s Oliver Twist |
| Doing it for the kids |
| Keep the boy on gruel |
| There’s a young British artist in the room |
| This is Oliver Twist |
| What if all of the village idiots |
| And all the raspberry ripples |
| Are just putting it on |
| And they’re the brightest of all of the cripples? |
| Oliver Twist I cartarista |
| Disappear into a pea souper |
| Swooping down like the Hun |
| Over the gas-lit streets of London |
| Into a pea souper |
| A Cartarista |
| Unto you my children I bestow this gift |
| It’s a ballroom blitz |
| This is Oliver Twist |
| This is Oliver Twist |
| A cartarista |
| Into a pea souper |
| Totality for the kids |
| Oliver Twist |
| Swooping down like the Hun |
| Swooping down over Soho |
| It’s the Oliver Twist manifesto |
| Oliver twist |
