B.a.d. Big Audio Dynamite - The Battle Of All Saints Road lyrics

A couple of years ago down ladbroke grove The dreads uptight sitting on a treasure trove A skinny white dude came in and took a chair He had a black leather jacket and greased back hair Well they ain`t seen nothing like it down the mangrove Plugged his guitar into a flat iron stove Now all the brothers they began to stare Hillybilly cat blew `em on their derriere It`s the booze that picks you up And throws you against the wall Sometimes there`s a drought Can`t get no sense at all Now they had the gra** he had the song The rocker and the ras began to get along Looking around for something to bang They all joined in and this is what they sang... We fired our guns and the coppers kept a coming There wasn`t quite as many as there was a while ago We fired once more and they began a running Over vauxhall bridge and via pimlico Cow foot curry herbage and macheté `57 chevy in a rondolet Red stripe bm a game of dominoes Zebra serenade the honky`s and negros Well it ain`t mozart Nowadays all quiet on the all saints road Cops and yups come in by the truckload A condo stands where the gra** used to grow Race attacks filofax and nobody goes It`s the booze that picks you up And throws you against the wall Lost my vallet and my mind at the carnival Seven eleven mcdonalds and ho-jo`s Gettys` on the jetty watch the river flow The lambeth walk`s like 42nd street Folks i gotta tell you this town can`t be beat Wadda dem-dem-dem.......
