Bombs away on Harpurhey Songtext
von King of the Slums

Lie back and think of England
Oh you lucky little devil you
Don′t waste your life away
In a maisonette in Harpurhey
This country helps those
That are prepared to help themselves
And this country is ours, pet
Let's go out and take what we own
And bombs away on Harpurhey...

This country is ours?
Oh pull the other one
Fortunes are made
By people a lot less honest than you or I pet.


We′re getting left behind
Oh and I promised you so much more, pet
I showed a lot of promise
Oh but didn't we all
Promise goes
And before you know
Stealing swiss rolls from Tesco's
Is the most natural thing on Earth...

Bombs away on Harpurhey...

Bombs away!

Lie back and think of England
Oh you lucky little devil you
Don′t waste your life away
In a maisonette in Harpurhey
This country helps those
That are prepared to help themselves
Oh if only I′d known
I could've been a qualified plumber by now
With my own little van you know...
