Lotteryland |
| That’s the place I used to work |
| When I was a wild, young Turk |
| It’s now the museum of industry |
| School kids get in for free |
| Brickwork’s smell of rotten eggs |
| Rubber works poured out the dregs |
| Now it smells of Dettol and pee |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| Where the steel mill used to stand |
| There’s a park in Lotteryland |
| Be a pram pusher on parole |
| Go windsurfing on the dole |
| They can put you right to sleep |
| Better than Brookside or The Street |
| It’s lucky numbers, one, two three |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| We don’t care who runs the shop |
| Left wing, right wing, curse the lot |
| A million quid talks sense to me |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| Now gone is dirt and gone is strife |
| And gone is struggle and gone is life |
| Shove it, mate, I’m busy, see |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| Now we triple lock the doors |
| Streets are full of thieves and whores |
| In a padded cell eternity |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
| Lotteryland’s the place to be |
