The prisoner meets the muppet hi-fi |
|
North of watford junction |
|
We get in but we don't have fun |
|
An' we leave before the truncheons |
|
So it's back to watch the day to day |
|
Saga of working people |
|
Hanging out the washing and clipping coupons |
|
And generally being decent |
|
Johnny too bad meets johnny be good |
|
In the charing cross road |
|
That's the only thing that happened today |
|
Says the west end jungle code |
|
And all the germans and all the french |
|
Jam themselves down the tube |
|
And re-enact the second world war |
|
While the rude boys get rude! |
|
And i look to my left |
|
And i look to my right |
|
And i'm looking for a man |
|
I'm looking for a sign |
|
I don't wanna be the prisoner |
|
The prisoner lives in camden town |
|
Selling revolution |
|
The prisoner loads his tracking arm up |
|
With self-disillusion |
|
Your mother does the washing up |
|
Your old man digs the garden |
|
You're only free to dodge the cops |
|
An' bunk the train to stardom |
