The Old Main Drag |
| [00:17.71] |
The Pogues |

| [00:35.08] |
When I first came to london I was only sixteen |
| [00:41.14] |
With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag |
| [00:46.87] |
I went down to the dilly to check out the scene |
| [00:52.83] |
And I soon ended up on the old main drag |
| [00:58.85] |
There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style |
| [01:04.83] |
And the old man with the money would flash you a smile |
| [01:10.42] |
In the dark of an alley you'd work for a fiver |
| [01:16.36] |
For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag |
| [01:22.26] |
|
| [01:22.27] |
In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill |
| [01:27.86] |
But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills |
| [01:33.97] |
If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg |
| [01:39.66] |
There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag |
| [01:45.73] |
|
| [01:57.77] |
One evening as I was lying down by leicester square |
| [02:03.01] |
I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls |
| [02:09.06] |
Between the metal doors at vine street I was beaten and mauled |
| [02:14.71] |
And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag |
| [02:20.55] |
|
| [02:20.56] |
In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out |
| [02:26.37] |
Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout |
| [02:32.50] |
And the coppers would come along and push them about |
| [02:38.28] |
And I wished I could escape from the old main drag |
| [02:44.61] |
And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze |
| [02:50.02] |
I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused |
| [02:55.65] |
I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg |
| [03:01.25] |
For some money to take me from the old main drag |
