# When I first came to London #
1:39:29
#I was only 16 #
1:39:32
# With a fiver in my pocket #
1:39:35
#And my old dancing bag #
1:39:38
#I went down to the dilly #
1:39:41
# To check out the scene #
1:39:44
#But I soon ended up
upon the old main drag #
1:39:49
# Where the he-males
and the she-males #
1:39:52
#Paraded in style #
1:39:55
#And the old man with the money
would flash you a smile #
1:40:01
#In the dark of an alley
you would work for a five #
1:40:07
#For a swift one off the wrist
down on the old main drag #
1:40:13
#In the cold winter nights
the old town it was chill #
1:40:19
#But there were boys in the cafés #
1:40:22
# Who'd give you cheap pills #
1:40:24
#If you didn't have the money #
1:40:27
# You'd cajole and you'd beg #
1:40:30
# There was always lots of Tuinal #
1:40:33
# On the old main drag #
1:40:47
# One evening as I was lying #
1:40:50
#Down in Leicester Square #
1:40:54
#I was picked up by the coppers #
1:40:56
#And kicked in the balls #
1:40:59
#Between the metal doors at Vine Street #
