[00:02.33]
[00:21.77] A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
[00:24.99] The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by
[00:35.21] Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
[00:38.85] Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
[00:44.09]
[00:49.25] Hovering silence from you is a giveaway
[00:52.14] Squalor and smoke's not your style
[00:54.89] "I don't like this place"
[00:55.52] We better go
[01:02.24] Then I compare notes with your older sister
[01:05.36] I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
[01:11.26]
[01:29.21] What did you learn from your time in the solitary
[01:32.58] Cell of your mind
[01:33.76] There was noises, distractions from anything good
[01:39.12] And the old prison food
[01:42.76] Colour my life with the chaos of trouble
[01:46.34] Cause anything's better than posh isolation
[01:49.53] I missed the bus
[01:52.77] You were laid on your back
[01:53.84] With the boy from the arab strap
[02:01.11] With the boy from the arab strap
[02:05.47]
[02:56.52] It's something to speak of the way you are feeling
[02:59.75] To crowds there assembled
[03:02.04] Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
[03:10.14] Everyone suffers in silence a burden
[03:13.17] The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
[03:16.75] The Asian man
[03:19.92] With his love hate affair
[03:21.36] With his racist clientele
[03:25.00]
[03:30.24] A central location for you is a must
[03:32.84] as you stagger about making free
[03:35.21] with your lewd and lascivious boasts
[03:43.61] We all know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing
[03:46.73] We all know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking
[03:49.59] from noon until noon again
[03:55.33] You're the boy with the filthy laugh
[04:01.93] You're the boy with the arab strap
[04:06.03]
[04:37.74] Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
[04:40.73] Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches
[04:47.78] And sets off the smoke alarm
[04:51.88] What do you make of the cool set in London?
[04:55.12] You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
[05:02.09] She's a waitress and she's got style
[05:12.31]
