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
Fill another suitcase, with another haul Of hotel towels and toothpaste and the bathroom wall Then wipe the lipstuck hearts and flowers from the glass and chrome Take five or six hot baths and showers and come on home, 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 greebos, the crusties and the goths And the only living boy in New Cross
