The Life And Times Of The Clerkenwell Kid |
| Well let me tell you the story |
| About the way I've lived |
| My streets are steeped in secrets |
| My memories in myths |
| If Clerkenwell's the cradle |
| I'm the kid. |
| Day One I defined myself |
| Bohemian by birth |
| Disposed with the doctor |
| Made out with a nurse |
| Yeah I was born a bastard |
| And then I just got worse. |
| I'm the kid |
| Who lives |
| In the city |
| A kiss. |
| The chimneys and the gutters |
| Are the place that I call home |
| The junkies whores and nutters |
| Call me their very own |
| I big it up in Bloomsbury |
| Shoot up the city road |
| Get down in the sewers |
| From Shoreditch to SoHo. |
| And you don't be concerned |
| With the things they said I did |
| I ain't got no regrets |
| No one to forgive |
| I ain't talking gangsters |
| And that East Coast West Coast shit |
| No one calls me a homeboy |
| I'm the Clerkenwell Kid. |
| Well I've done my share of cheating and deceiving |
| But I tell you I know no other way |
| So please believe me when I say |
| I'm the Clerkenwell Kid |
| And you're just sitting pretty in the city all alone |
| Come and join me |
| Make my world your own39 |
| We'll dance forever out into the blue |
| Waltz together underneath the London moon. |
