Workhouse? |
|
Yeah? What do you want? |
|
Information |
|
Who the fuck do you think you are? You never fucking stop. Always wanting something for nothing.. OK. I'll give you want you want. I'll give you information |
|
All these songs about Christ, spooks and personal vendettas |
|
Organ donations, there's a mini operetta |
|
Are people gonna say you've gone off your rocker |
|
Well, I'm the brightest thing on the roster |
|
And I sleep well when I turn out the light |
|
I'm like an off-duty comedian at the end of a bad night |
|
Easy to like admire, difficult to love |
|
You've gotta believe me when I say I never wanted to be liked |
|
And I defy the curfew |
|
A sense of humour is the most overrated virtue |
|
Get off your knees you grovelling bastards |
|
This is Oliver twist pissing over Britannia |
|
200 years of Tin Pan Alley |
|
I learned good from a king thief mentor |
|
Newgate, Broadstreet, Langdales Distillery |
|
Papist threats and no popery |
|
It's a beautiful night again |
|
So paint the wall white again |
|
Brutality for the kids |
|
Oliver Twist |
|
There was this gang who I used to run with |
|
Ragamuffins, urchin scum, spivs |
|
Looking good comes in handy |
|
When you're dipping in the pockets of a dandy |
|
And there's treason in the air, it's just a leap of faith |
|
There's murder in the air at Rillington Place |
|
A Christie lives in Soho |
|
This is the Oliver Twist Manifesto |
|
Totality for the kids |
|
Oliver Twist |
|
I'm operating now under four different names |
|
I can use anyone of them, anytime again |
|
And I've never been one to hold a grudge |
|
Twists has turned vicious |
|
What if all the malevolent cripples |
|
The Raspberry ripples |
|
Are just putting it on? |
|
And they're the brightest of all of the people |
|
Oliver Twist, vaudeville Spook mentalist |
|
Disappear into a pea souper |
|
Swooping down on your back |
|
Coming out of a cold snap |
|
Into a pea souper |
|
A cartarista |
|
It was meant to be great |
|
But it's gone wrong again |
|
It's a beautiful night |
|
So paint the wall white again |
|
Get of your knees |
|
'Cos Christie lives |
|
It's a beautiful night for Treason |
|
Oliver Twist |
|
Oliver Twist |
