It's a dirty road England's pleasant land Work the streets and clubs For some cash in hand You're paying when you're staying And taxed where you stand Pennies disappearing In all the slight of hand The holes in your pocket Get bigger every day Falling down in to them Wasting away A well trodden path Where dignity fades Unravelling all the way Love heal us How deep our cuts Who can you trust When you're out of luck You lift me up We're going underground
Shouting so loud that we'll be found So did you come to look over Or pushed to the edge Slipped between the stones And off that narrow ledge Identity unknown at the cash machine Another blank on the page Wiped off the screen Accidental anarchist This the final payment Struck into the wilderness By council waged a**ailants Sound a cry of breaking gla** That echoes through the overpa** If you fall I'll pick you up And then we'll go again
