Big Audio Dynamite - Sightsee M.C! lyrics

Here we buy some old English wreck And we tart it up for the girls to check Its mugs night out at the old Palais And the girl wants a ride on a Saturday Its time for the hour for the drunks to shout As the barman shoves the people out The red light says come on down And streetfights breakout all over town It`s an English custom it`s ceremony I`m your guide for the ride Sightsee M.C! I `ve been in Pentonville I`ve been in Battersea I`m your guide for the ride Sightsee M.C! We got plenty of sixties slums They said she jumped from floor twenty one It`s empty now but it blocks out the sun Used to be the shape of things to come The children runnin`raggedy breaking the gla** Smashing the lights in the underpa** Gonna need no flag when they`re seventeen For waving at someone who looks like the Queen I`ve been in Chinatown I`ve been in Emba**y I`m your guide for the ride Sightsee M.C! Casino Dino and Roulette Len All know my name and back again This alley runs to the farm on the hill Where the nights are wild and the petrol spill Firestone Freddy and Molotov Jack Their shadow goes but it soon come back Striking sparks in floods of oil No name no flag for mother soil You can guarantee she`ll burn tonight `Cos England keeps the household white You know it ain`t safe it`s way too early or late The Mets` gonna getcha down in Bishopsgate I ain`t at number 10 I`m at number 23B I`m your guide for the ride Sightsee M.C! Take all the bed box people and the opera lights London town is yours tonight Well it`s over to you and bye from me I`m your guide for the ride Sightsee M.C!
