Hello, good evening and 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 hall Of hotel towels and toothpaste And the bathroom wall Then wipe the lipstick hearts and flowers From the glass and chrome Take five or six hot 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 travelers and the thieves The good, the bad, the average and unique The grebos the crusties and the goths And the only living boy in New Cross
Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date Two fat ladies in 1988 The safe sixteen lovers who lied Purley's queen and mother makes five Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters Marble Arch criminals and clause 28'ers Authers, authors, plastered outcasts Locked up daughter, rock and roll stars Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie Abraham and Julianne And everyone that knows me
The gypsies, the travelers 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
