Ian Dury - I Want To Be Straight lyrics

I'm Charley, you know I'm Norman pleased to meet you I'm Mickey, hello Wilko I'm Johnny, how are you doing Harry? My name is David And I'm Ian and guess what? Oi! I want to be straight, I want to be straight I'm sick and tired of taking d** and staying up late. I want to confirm, I want to conform I want to be safe and I want to be snug and I want to be warm I want to be straight, I want to be straight I want to create a place of my own in the welfare state Brr, gonna be good, brr, gonna be kind It might be a wrench but think of the stench I'm leaving behind I want to be straight, I want to be straight Come out of the cold and do what I'm told and don't deviate I want to give, I want to give, I want to give my consent I'm learning to hate all the things that were great when I used to be bent! Could be not straightness Dumb dumb dilley Might lead to greatness Dur yuh dumb der Owing to lateness My chance has only just arrived, ha Ow! Straight, straight, straight, straight Straight, straight, straight, straight Straight, straight, straight, straight, straight I want to be straight, I want to be straight I'm sick and tired of taking d** and staying up late I know that you're right, I know I was wrong So thanks very much, please keep in touch, I'll be rhyming along I want to be straight I want to be straight I want to be straight I want to be straight I want to be straight I want to be straight...
