Happy as a punk in boystown

No more talk about doing

Going round the twist with heartbreak



You're in need of protection

Not from me but from yourself

Going round the twist with heartbreak



Big brother won't like it

'Cos you're one of life's takers

Go tell the Spartans

We're on Hell's eight acres.



Walked with kings you know, self law

Pencil skirts and that gear

Going round the twist with heartbreak



Crouched and trembling with hate

Mixes both and dies both ways

Going round the twist with heartbreak



Just a little boy in a man's world

Dying on his feet you see

Going round the twist with heartbreak



Busy fighting the inch war

Paws and claws and black velvet

Going round the twist with heartbreak
