Hello, good evening, welcome
to nothing much
A no holds barred half nelson
and the loving touch
The comfort and the joy
of feeling lost
With the only living boy
in New Cross
(,,, etc)
Fill another suitcase
with another haul
Of hotel towels and toothpaste
and the bathroom wall
Then wipe the lipstick heart and flowers
from the glass and chrome
Take five or six hot baths and showers
and come on home
To the comfort and the joy of feeling lost
With the only living boy
in New Cross
I've teamed up with the hippies now
I've got my fringe unfurled
I want to give peace, love and kisses out
to this whole stinking world
The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves
The good, the bad, the average and unique
The grebos, the crusties, the goths
And the only living boy
in New Cross
(,,,)
Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date, Two fat ladies 1988
The safe sixteen lovers who lied , Purleys' queen and mother makes five
Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters
Marble arch criminals and clause 28'ers
Authors, authors, plastered outcasts
Locked up daughters, rock'n'roll stars
Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie
Abraham and Julianne and everyone who knows me
The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves
The good, the bad, the average and unique
The grebos, the crusties, and you and I
Hello, good evening, welcome
and Goodbye
