1
Hello, Ruth Streeting
2
Here once again with "Streeting's Street"
3
Where you get the word straight from the street
4
This is the show that dishes the dirt on the dirt
5
Strictly no rock star bullshit on my show
6
I don't review pop anymore
7
I talk about anything I like or anything I hate
8
Talking of which, remember
9
That clapped-out 60's hell-raiser Ray High?
10
Rumor has it the sad old lush can't do it anymore
11
I mean, make records
12
I'm an English boy, I was brought up right
13
Hold me down and I will bite
14
I know no fear, I serve with joy
15
I'm proud to be here an English boy
16
I feel like a stray dog
17
Blurred like a movie
18
You say you've come to arrest me
19
But you're just trying to test me
20
I'm bored with your prejudice
21
Spreading like a fever
22
Your promises to train me
23
Are just attempts to restrain me
24
I'm an English boy, precisely made
25
You can pin me down, I am not afraid
26
I show no fear, I will serve with joy
27
I'm proud to be here, an English boy
28
Use me like a headline
29
Cut pieces to pieces
30
I'm black on the tube line
31
Red on the touch-line
32
Freezing up the future
33
Stopping every stopwatch
34
You say we're moving like an oil slick
35
Thicker than a house brick
36
I'm an English boy, I was brought up right
37
If you raise your dress then I will bite
38
My voice is clear, I got perfect poise
39
Good to be down here with other English boys
40
And I don't know where I am now
41
Or where I'm gonna go
42
I just keep going 'round and 'round on the circle line
43
Like some demented kind a commuta
44
Trying to avoid paying for my ticket
45
I'm a lost soul
46
I read about myself in the newspapers
47
I'm a pig, I'm a thug
48
I've got nowhere to go but down
49
I hear his manager, Rastus Knight
50
Is pulling what's left of his hair out
51
The only thing Ray's writing these days
52
Are large checks to his booze merchants
53
He's a serious recluse now
54
Hasn't seen daylight or another woman
55
Since his old lady walked out two years ago.
56
Poor little sausage, brooding in that
57
Twenty-two room glass mansion
58
Life's a bitch and so am I
59
Feel like I'm kicking at a dead man
60
Kicking in the chorus
61
I'm broken by hatred
62
While politicians just ignore us
63
You never gave me any value
64
You didn't give me any reason
65
There's no tools and no toys
66
For any English boys
67
I'm an English boy, I was brought up right
68
Hold me down and I will bite
69
I know no fear, I will serve with joy
70
I'm proud to be here, an English boy, yeah
71
I'm an English boy, yeah
72
I'm an English boy
73
I'm an English boy
74
No tools, no toys for any English boy
75
English boy, English boy
