Black Boy Lane

I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
There's a bullet there with my name
I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
It was some fella I know from some time before
In a house by the park with a cage on the door
You phone and say: "Are you dancing today?"
Do you think you could help me, can you make me a call?
You know who is away, I can't get nothing at all
Today
Are you dancing today?
Sixteen track suits coming up my lane
I bet you made the bed in which you lay
Do you think you could help me, can you make me a call?
You know who is away, I can't get nothing at all
Today
Are you dancing today?
I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
There must be some other way
I ain't going back to Black Boy Lane
Do you think you could help me, can you make me a call?
You know who is away, I can't get nothing at all
Today
Are you dancing today?
