Off the rails I was and

Off the rails

I was happy to stay

GET OUT OF MY WAY

On the rack I was

Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy

A reasonably good buy

The Piccadilly palare

Was just silly slang

Between me and the boys in my gang

"So Bona to Vada. OH YOU

Your lovely eek and

Your lovely riah"

We plied an ancient trade

Where we threw all life's

Instructions away

Exchanging lies and digs (my way)

Cause in a belted coat

Oh, I secretly knew

That I hadn't a clue

(No, no. No, no, no. You can't get there that way. Follow me...)

The Piccadilly palare

Was just silly slang

Between me and the boys in my gang

Exchanging palare

You wouldn't understand

Good sons like you

NEVER DO.

So why do you smile

When you think about Earl's Court ?

But you cry when you think of all

The battles you've fought (and lost) ?

It may all end tomorrow

Or it could go on forever

In which case I'm doomed

It could go on forever

In which case I'm doomed
