The Crooked Beat |
| Start the car lets make a midnight run |
| Across the river to South London |
| To dance to the latest hi-fi sound |
| Of bass, guitar and drum |
| Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure off |
| Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat |
| Take a piece of cloth, a coin for thirst |
| For the sweat will start to run |
| With a cymbal splash, a word of truth |
| And a rocking bass and drum |
| Seeking out a rhythm that can take the pressure on |
| Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat |
| So one by one they come on down |
| From the tower blocks of my home town |
| Stepping with the rhythm of the rockers beat |
| Drowning out the pressure of the crooked beat |
| Seeking out a rhythm that can take the tension on |
| Stepping in and out of that crooked crooked beat |
| It has crooked past this crooked street |
| Where cars patrol this crooked beat |
| Badges flsh and sirens wail |
| They’ll be taking one and all to jail |
| Prance! |
| Prance! |
| You want a law to dance? |
