Off the rails i was and |
|
Off the rails |
|
I was happy to stay |
|
Get out of my way |
|
On the rack i was |
|
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy |
|
A reasonably good buy |

|
The piccadilly palare |
|
Was just silly slang |
|
Between me and the boys in my gang |
|
\"so bona to vada. oh you |
|
Your lovely eek and |
|
Your lovely riah\" |
|
|
|
|
|
We plied an ancient trade |
|
Where we threw all life\'s |
|
Instructions away |
|
Exchanging lies and digs (my way) |
|
Cause in a belted coat |
|
Oh, i secretly knew |
|
That i hadn\'t a clue |

(no, no. no, no, no. you can\'t get there that way. follow me...) |

Exchanging palare |

You wouldn\'t understand |
|
Good sons like you |
|
Never do. |

So why do you smile |
|
When you think about earl\'s court ? |
|
But you cry when you think of all |
|
The battles you\'ve fought (and lost) ? |
|
It may all end tomorrow |
|
Or it could go on forever |
|
In which case i\'m doomed |

It could go on forever |
