Back In The Day
Goin’ down the Gaumont on a Saturday mornin’,
Gotta a tanner in me pocket
What’s burnin a hole in…
Hey you, four eyes,
You snotty old herbert,
Give yer me jubbly
If yer give us some sherbert.
Flash Gordon, Stingray,
Back then in the day.
Half a crown, yer feel like a king,
Swinging down the road to a Beatle hymn.
Goin’ down the market on a Sunday mornin’-
I ‘av a cup of coffee,
But I can’t stop yawnin’.
Gonna see me mate Billy
What comes from Whoppin’.
I can’t dilly dally
Gotta do me shoppin’
Who Doctor Dalek ray,
Back then in the day.
Take a look at London’s pride,
Split by the river on either side.
She’s coming down,
He’s coming down
I’m swanning round London town
See ya in the Rose and Crown
Make me a liar for a pound
Goin’ down Clapham on a Friday evenin’,
Get a skinful of bitter
And a leery feeling.
The band is really rockin’
And I can’t stop reelin’.
But it’s hard to hit the floor
When yer head is on the ceiling.
Vindaloo take away
Back then in the day.
Cool Britannia rules the waves -
But she’s seen much better days.

The Junction
Going down to Charing Cross.
Gonna see my old boss.
Gotta a package to deliver,
Somewhere across the river.
In the back of some old gaff,
Where they keep things under wraps.
Gotta meet a bloke called Jerry -
Maybe dodgy, maybe very.
Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my engine gunning
Something is going down.
Lost on the streets of London,
Running red lights through Camden.
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.
I gotta get back east,
See the beauty and the beast.
She lives up by the common,
Such a sweet loving woman.
Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my motor running…
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.

Time to Kill
I’ve got time on my hands,
I’ve got time to kill.
I’ve got no special plans
And I guess I never will.
Standing by my window,
Watch the rain coming down -
There’s a beautiful rainbow
And the sunset wears a crown.
I’ve got time to steal,
I’ve got time to kill.
But sometimes it feels like
I swallowed a bitter pill.
Gotta find a remedy
Gotta find a remedy
Gotta find a remedy
To save my sanity
I’ve got time on my hands,
I’ve got time to kill.
I’ve got no special plans
And I guess I never will.
Standing by my window,
Watch the rain coming down -
There’s a beautiful rainbow
And the sunset wears a crown.
I’ve got time to kill
I’ve got time to kill kill
I’ve got time to kill...

Rainy Day
It’s a rainy day in London town
What are we gonna do
Let’s go down the nearest tube
And sing a tune or two
Maybe we’ll get lucky
Make a hat full of money
Maybe even enough dosh
To go out and get sloshed
Mine’s a pint of London Pride
It’s nice and warm here in the snug
But outside it’s a rainy day
If we pull the plug
Will it drain away
Cos outside it’s cold and grey
Have another slug
Troubles fade away
It’s a rainy day in London town
I’m waiting for the bus to come
See that girl in the red raincoat
Maybe she’ll be the one
To keep me safe and warm
Take me in from the storm
And we’ll run so far away
To where the sun shines all day
I wanna get to the sunny side
Catch a plane to southern Spain
Where outside it’s a sunny day
And the London rain stays far away
Where outside it’s thirty in the shade
In sunny Spain we got it made

Cinematic Kid
She’s the toast of the town,
She got diamonds, she got the gown.
She’s the queen of the screen -
Always makes the scene.
She’s a cinematic kid, (she moves alright),
She’s a cinematic kid, (she stars all night),
She’s a cinematic kid, (out of sight!)
A cinematic kid!
She’s the glitter in Tinsel Town,
The big hitter they want around.
But life is tough at the top,
You can never stop.
She’s a cinematic kid, (look what she did),
She’s a cinematic kid, (into her id),
She’s a cinematic kid, (blows her lid),
A cinematic kid!
She’s got the screaming abdabs,
She’s got to get to rehab.
Honey, it’s a wrap!
She’s a cinematic kid (a photogenic girl),
She’s a cinematic kid (quite a pearl),
She’s a cinematic kid (in a whirl),
A cinematic kid!
She’s the toast of the town,
She got diamonds, she got the gown.
She’s the queen of the screen -
Always makes a scene.
She’s a cinematic kid,
She’s a cinematic kid,
She’s a cinematic kid,
A cinematic kid!

Little Bird
Hey little bird!
Why don’t you fly?
There’s all that room
Up in the sky.
Hey little bird!
Why don’t you fly?
You’ve got the wings -
You’ve got the sky.
Don’t want see a caged bird kept in,
Wanna see her taking wing
And fly away so high
Across the London sky.
Fly away so high
Across the sky.
Granddad was a card
And pigeons were his thing.
He gave them names
And he gave em a ring.
Grandma said he loved ‘em more than her
And one day she showed him the door
And Granddad broke a wing,
Couldn’t do his thing.
Grandma said they could not stay,
Pretty things must fly away.
So Granddad let em fly
Away across the sky.
Granddad didn’t say much
For ten years or more.
Then one spring
He heard a song at his door.
Don’t want see a caged bird kept in,
Wanna see her taking wing
And fly away so high
Across the London sky.
Hey little bird!
Time to fly -
You’ve got the wings,
You’ve got the sky.
Hey little bird!
Why don’t you fly?
There’s all that room
Up in the sky...

Crazy
I must be crazy, I must be mad
To let you slide through my fingers like that
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand
How I let you go I will never understand
Well, I guess it only goes to show
I was crazy crazy to let you go
How many teardrops can I cry
Looks like a waterfall pouring from my eye
How many regrets can I hold in my heart
Before the whole damn thing breaks apart
Well I guess it only goes to show
I was crazy to let you go

Time Of My Life
I am young and I'm free.
Got no flies buzzing around me.
I can make a plan
Build castles in the sand.
You can kick em right back
In my face, I don't mind
Cos it's the time of my life.
I like it here, I like it there
Anywhere will do, I don't really care.
Waiting in the rain for a girl who never came
Well that’s ok, it's alright
I ain't looking for a wife
Cos it's the time of my life.
Time, time, time keeps flashing on by,
My oh my, see it fly.
Time, time, time keeps ticking on
But life is sweet, it's a bonbon, c’est bonne.
C’est le temps de ma vie
Mes amis

Day Dream
5 o’clock, the sun is up,
I dream that it’s an apricot.
I take a bite dripping
The juice down my chin.
I kiss a dream girl on the lips
Then wake up to my Weetabix -
The dream fading
And it’s growing dim
So take a ride on the Northern line,
Don’t be late, gotta be on time.
But I think paradise
Is just a dream away
So take my advice
And daydream all day.
I wake up, the dream is gone,
Oh,can I have another one?
Alarm clocks are clanging
In my tired head
Take me back to the billows bright
Where flying fish fly all night,
And leave me here floating
In my feather bed.
But I think paradise
Is just a dream away
So take my advice
And daydream all day.
Flying high like a kite in the sky
Old rocking horse rocks on by
Temple bells are ringing
At the break of day
Alice stands by a minaret
Trying to learn the alphabet,
Turns to me smiling
Then she fades away.
So take a ride on the Northern line,
Don’t be late, gotta be on time.
But I think paradise
Is just a dream away
So take my advice
And daydream all day.

TRICK OF THE LIGHT
In the misty morning of your childhood,
Some dreams you can't escape -
The angel’s waiting at your gate.
The sun poured down like honey would,
Anointed you with gold,
Seemed like you could never grow old.
It's not a trick of the light,
It’s not a twist of fate.
Do something right,
Do something great -
It’s never too late.
You know your dreams can take on wings,
And fly away beyond the sky -
It's all here just standing by.
It's not a trick of the light,
It’s not a twist of fate.
Do something right,
Do something great -
It’s never too late.
Out there where the angel sings,
Go to her, don't hesitate -
It's your destiny, it's your fate.
Not a trick of the light...
And if you would stand by her side,
Please leave your foolish pride,
Hanging at the gate.
Do something right,
Do something great.
It's not a trick of the light,
It's not a twist of fate.
It's never too late.
Don’t hesitate,
Do something great -
It’s never too late...
