, , ,  x2
Razor  tea-cups  and tip top craic
 of the crooked, Backstreet  Lovers and sons
 Lawless law men  walk the streets of
 Dirty meadows of foul  mouthed mothers and guns
 Brick blacked-up kids  mugged me the day  I
ran  off with your sister
 a young school maid,  caught up in a world  of
 Backstreet Lovers.
 Lovers and sons,  I waved  her away  to a friend
 at least  that's what she said.
Rotting  teeth of  a grubby gran
 fill the alleys of the stolen  roll-ups and blunts
 a skin-head dad  came cap in hand
 with a duster and flash  of switch blade fun
 still on the dole,  though the picket was broken
 a soiled  age ago.
 But he's caught up,  caught up in a world  of
 Backstreet Lovers
 Lovers and sons,  I waved  her away  to a friend
 at least  that's what she  said.
 tangled in the roots  and tangled in the  weeds
 of a concrete jungle  came that girl from Leeds
 in torn dress and tights,
 she ain't no slag.
 i won her over  with a '40 bag.
 I waved  her away  to a friend
 at least  that's what she said.
Razor  tea-cups  and tip top craic
 of the crooked, Backstreet  Lovers and sons
 Lawless law men  walk the streets of
 Dirty meadows of foul  mouthed mothers and guns
 Brick blacked-up kids  mugged me the day  I
ran  off with your sister
 a young school maid,  caught up in a world  of
 Backstreet Lovers.
 Lovers and sons,  I waved  her away  to a friend
 at least  that's what she said.
Rotting  teeth of  a grubby gran
 fill the alleys of the stolen  roll-ups and blunts
 a skin-head dad  came cap in hand
 with a duster and flash  of switch blade fun
 still on the dole,  though the picket was broken
 a soiled  age ago.
 But he's caught up,  caught up in a world  of
 Backstreet Lovers
 Lovers and sons
