My name is Ray High

This is my last album

[Female voice:]

Don't you ever ring me up drunk again Ray

Do you hear me!!

You spray like a tomcat

Piss like a stray dog

Swear like a sailor

Speaking in gang tongues

Kicking in chorus

Stabbing to order

Slashing like a blind man

Lost like a soldier

Swear like a sailor

Blurred like a movie

Grey under streetlights

Grey in the sunshine

Black on the tube line

Red on the touchline

Moving like a fever

Spreading like an oil slick

Thicker than a house brick

I'm an English boy

I was brought up right

You can hold me down

And I would bite

I knew no fear

I served with joy

I'm proud to be here

An English boy

You spray like a tomcat

Piss like a stray dog

Swear like a sailor

Speaking in gang tongues

Kicking in chorus

Stabbing to order

Slashing like a blind man

Lost like a soldier

I'm an English boy

Precisely made

Pin me down

I am not afraid

I show no fear

I served with joy

I'm proud to be here

I'm an English boy

Blurred like a movie

Grey under streetlights

Grey in the sunshine

Black on the tube line

White on the touchline

Moving like a fever

Spreading like an oil slick

Thicker than a house brick

I'm an English boy

I was brought up right

Come on and raise your dress

Then I would bite

My voice is clear

I Got perfect poise

Good to be down here

With all the English boys

Let me tell you the truth and now I can kindly say what I want to say,

And it's so even hearted at this time of my life,

But I know you don't now how I feel right now

But I can see into the history, in the present, past, forever

In one big fucking lie in a bulls eye

Slow like a prejudice

Broken like hatred

Kicking at a dead man

Cut pieces to pieces

Marking your territory

Freezing the future

Stopping the stopwatch

I am despairing

I'm an English boy

I was brought up right

Hold me down

And I will bite

I know no fear

I served with joy

I'm proud to be here

An English boy

An English boy

An English boy

[Fade]

Oh very, You know Mark I'm telling you

It's a existential horror

What a life

Early morning dreams come true

I know that now I'm here with you

You here by my side

I'm siding with you

[Female voice:]

If you can't lean on me, who can you lean on?

If you can't lean on me, who can you lean on?

If you can't lean on me, who can you lean on?

That's a good show

Slip kid slipped into his thariant suit

Give up on your phony freedom now

Slip kid slip into your grid life suit

The grid seat cover can slow things down

Who am I, where am I, who are you and you

Who am I, where am I, who are you and you

Who am I, where am I, who are you and you

Who am I, where am I, who are you and you

Hey little slip kid slip into your suit

Give up on your phony freedom now

Slip kid slip into your grid life suit

The grid seat cover can shut things down

Slip kid slipped into his thariant suit

Give up on your phony freedom now

Slip kid slip into your grid life suit

The grid seat cover can slow things down
