| From the black bag skip in the parking lot
|
| It’s a short bad trip to the candy shop
|
| Where the shrimps sell smack to the jelly snakes
|
| And the kids buy crack in their morning break
|
| And the grass grows bluer on the other side
|
| Where the old girls queue for their Mothers Pride
|
| For a slice of life it’s a bargain sale
|
| The price is right but the bread is stale
|
| From the high rise priest of the office blocks
|
| To a five year lease on a cardboard box
|
| From the Old Queens Head to the Burger King
|
| In my '57 Chevvy made from baked bean tins
|
| And when I drive that heap down the road
|
| You can hear the cheap car stereo
|
| Volume knob turned down low
|
| And rubbish on the radio
|
| From John O’Groats to Elmer’s End
|
| With busted lights and dodgy plates
|
| Scrawled with a ball point pen
|
| R U B B I S H
|
| I’m underage and uninsured
|
| On the High Road to Domestos
|
| Chloraflouracarbon Lord
|
| Asbestos lead asbestos
|
| From John O’Groats to Elmer’s End
|
| With busted lights and dodgy plates
|
| Scrawled with a ball point pen

|
| I’m underage and uninsured
|
| On the High Road to Domestos
|
| Chloraflouracarbon Lord
|
| Asbestos lead asbestos
|
| I’ll meet you down by the litter bins
|
| Stretch my pins and feed my face
|
| Wait there 'til my ship comes in
|
| Loaded down with toxic waste
|
| I’m going now to meet my maker
|
| Ignition, clutch, accelerator
|
| Mirror, signal and manoeuvre
|
| GLORY, GLORY, GLORY HALLELUJAH! |
