Lyrics:
When I first came to London I was only 16 With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag I went down to the Dilly to check out the scene But I soon ended up on the old main drag There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style The old man with the money would flash you a smile In the dark of an alley you'd work for a five For a swift one off the wrist on the old main drag In the cold winter nights the old town, it was chill But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills If you didn't have the money, you'd cajole or you'd beg There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag
One evening, as I was lying down by Leicester Square I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls Between the metal doors at Vine Street I was beaten and mauled And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag In the tube station, the old ones who were on the way out Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout And the coppers would come along and kick them about And I wished I could escape from the old main drag And now I'm lying here, I've had too much booze I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg For some money to take me from the old main drag
Thank you This one's called 'Thousands Are Sailing'
