Adventures In New Bohemia

Who's a loveable rogue known to compose colourful prose?

I'm on the road 'til my foot prints cover the globe,

I speak low with a lump in my throat, and a lung full a smoke,

bunnin' dope in my humble abode, it's bohemia,

sepia tone memorabilia, soak up the media,

day time TV's gettin' kinda tedious,

trapped with the social deviants,

in the confines of my immediate,

future is fruitless,

I'm through duckin' shooters,

dust so thick it dates back to the Tudors,

livin' in student digs on tins of tuna,

who spent the rent down the boozer?

We sip beers and split hairs over current-affairs,

any unwelcome guests get chucked down the stairs,

the place where I pedal my wares,

all the fun of the fair,

b-boys hold down the square,

it goes;

adventures in new bohemia,

spark it everyday,

adventures in new bohemia,

cuz that's the place we stay,

adventures in new bohemia,

we got to pay the rent,

adventures in new bohemia,

that's what we represent,

adventures in new bohemia,

adventures in new bohemia,

adventures in new bohemia,

Call me the counterfeit Big Lebowski,

part-time alchy,

scramblin' around for his house key,

knee deep in debris,

sippin' on PG Tips like a chimpanzee,

I'm the one-man jamboree,

I won't ram out ya jam for free,

I perform for a standard fee,

cuz I'm freezin' cold, sleepin'

with no central heatin',

I can even see mould growin' on the ceilin',

from my neighbours pipes that keep leakin',

in need of some herbal healin',

I search and rummage,

eyes light up like rubies in a world of rubbish,

lookin' bummy like Wurzel Gummage,

drunk and undernourished,

run ya gums and get rushed by the scrummage,

the man with the dish-pan hands,

big band bustin' up ya tin pan jams.

adventures in new bohemia,

spark it everyday,

adventures in new bohemia,

cuz that's the place we stay,

adventures in new bohemia,

got to pay the rent,

adventures in new bohemia,

that's what we represent
