Intro: Fill#1  ( G5 C5 G5 G5 )

G5
A mile and a half on a bus takes a long time
                                                C5             
The odour of old prison food takes a long time to pass you by                                    
G5
Day upon day of this wandering gets you down
                                         C5
Nobody gives you a chance or a dollar in this old town
G5
Hovering silence from you is a giveaway

Squalor and smoke's not your style

"I don't like this place"
C5
We better go
G5
Then I compare notes with your older sister
                                        C5                 D5   G5   G5
I am a lazy gett, she is as pure as the cold driven snow
G5
What did you learn from your time in the solitary

Cell of your mind?
                                     C5
There was noises, distractions from anything good

And the old prison food
G5
Colour my life with the chaos of trouble

Cause anything's better than posh isolation
C5
I missed the bus

You were laid on your back
                            D5
With the boy from the arab strap
                            G5
With the boy from the arab strap


( G5 C5 G5 C5 D5 C5 G5 )  ( G5 )

G5
It's something to speak of the way you are feeling

To crowds there assembled
                                   C5
Do you ever feel you have gone too far?
G5
Everyone suffers in silence a burden

The man who drives minicabs down in Old Compton
    C5
The Asian man

With his love hate affair
                       D5    
With his racist clientele
G5
A central location for you is a must as you stagger about making free with your lewd and 
           C5
lascivious boasts 
G5
We know you are soft cause we've all seen you dancing 
                                                        C5
We know you are hard cause we all saw you drinking from noon

Until noon again 
                               D5
You're the boy with the filthy laugh
                              G5
You're the boy with the arab strap


( G5  C5 )

G5
Strapped to the table with suits from the shelter shop
                                                   C5
Comic celebrity takes a back seat as the cigarette catches

And sets off the smoke alarm
G5
What do you make of the cool set in London?
                                                        C5
You're constantly updating your hit parade of your ten biggest wanks
                         D5
She's a waitress and she's got style
                            G5
Sunday bathtime could take a while
