#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 #
1:41:02
#I was beaten and mauled #
1:41:06
#And they ruined my good looks #
1:41:08
#For the old main drag #
1:41:11
#In the tube station #
1:41:13
# The old ones who were on the way out #
1:41:17
# Would dribble and vomit #
1:41:20
#And grovel and shout #
1:41:23
#And the coppers would come along #
1:41:26
#And push them about #
1:41:28
#And I wished I could escape from #
1:41:32
# The old main drag #
1:41:34
#And now I am lying here #
1:41:37
#I have had too much booze #
1:41:40
#I've been spat on and shat on #
1:41:43
#And raped and abused #
1:41:46
#I know that I am dying
and I wish I could beg #
1:41:52
#For some money to take me
from the old main drag ##
