[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]
