Backstreet Lovers

Razor tea-cups and tip top craic

Of the crooked, backstreet lovers and sons

Lawless law men walk the streets of

Dirty meadows of foul mouthed mothers and guns

Brick blacked-up kids mugged me the day i

Ran off with your sister

A young school maid, caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers.

Lovers and sons, i waved her away to a friend

At least that's what she said.

Rotting teeth of a grubby gran

Fill the alleys of the stolen roll-ups and blunts

A skin-head dad came cap in hand

With a duster and flash of switch blade fun

Still on the dole, though the picket was broken

A soiled age ago.

But he's caught up, caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons, i waved her away to a friend

At least that's what she said

Tangled in the roots and tangled in the weeds

Of a concrete jungle came that girl from leeds

In torn dress and tights,

She ain't no slag.

I won her over with a '40 bag.

I waved her away to a friend

At least that's what she said

Razor tea-cups and tip top craic

Of the crooked, backstreet lovers and sons

Lawless law men walk the streets of

Dirty meadows of foul mouthed mothers and guns

Brick blacked-up kids mugged me the day i

Ran off with your sister

A young school maid, caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers.

Lovers and sons, i waved her away to a friend

At least that's what she said.

Rotting teeth of a grubby gran

Fill the alleys of the stolen roll-ups and blunts

A skin-head dad came cap in hand

With a duster and flash of switch blade fun

Still on the dole, though the picket was broken

A soiled age ago.

But he's caught up, caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons
