Hello, good evening, welcome

 to nothing much

 A no holds barred half nelson

 and the loving touch

 The comfort and the joy

 of feeling lost

 With the only living boy

 in New Cross

 (,,, etc)

Fill another suitcase

 with another haul

 Of hotel towels and toothpaste

 and the bathroom wall

Then wipe the lipstick heart and flowers

 from the glass and chrome

 Take five or six hot baths and showers

 and come on home

 To the comfort and the joy of feeling lost

 With the only living boy

 in New Cross

I've teamed up with the hippies now

 I've got my fringe unfurled

 I want to give peace, love and kisses out

 to this whole stinking world

 The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves

 The good, the bad, the average and unique

 The grebos, the crusties, the goths

 And the only living boy

 in New Cross

(,,,)

Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date, Two fat ladies 1988

The safe sixteen lovers who lied , Purleys' queen and mother makes five

Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters

Marble arch criminals and clause 28'ers

Authors, authors, plastered outcasts

Locked up daughters, rock'n'roll stars

Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie

Abraham and Julianne and everyone who knows me

 The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves

 The good, the bad, the average and unique

 The grebos, the crusties, and you and I

Hello, good evening, welcome

 and Goodbye
