JEHST - Adventures In New Bohemia lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1:]

Who's a loveable rogue known to compose colourful prose?

I'm on the road 'til my foot prints cover the globe

I speak low with a lump in my throat, and a lung full a smoke

Bunnin' dope in my humble abode, it's bohemia

Sepia tone memorabilia, soak up the media

Daytime TV's gettin' kinda tedious

Trapped with the social deviants

In the confines of my immediate

Future is fruitless

I'm through duckin' shooters

Dust so thick it dates back to the Tudors

Livin' in student digs on tins of tuna

Who spent the rent down the boozer?

We sip beers and split hairs over current-affairs

Any unwelcome guests get chucked down the stairs

The place where I pedal my wares

All the fun of the fair

B-boys hold down the square, it goes

[Chorus:]

Adventures in New Bohemia

Spark it everyday!

Adventures in New Bohemia

Cause that's the place we stay

Adventures in New Bohemia

We got to pay the rent

Adventures in New Bohemia

That's what we represent

Adventures in New Bohemia

Adventures in New Bohemia

Adventures in New Bohemia

[Verse 2:]

Call me the counterfeit Big Lebowski, the part-time alchy

Scramblin' around for his house key

Knee deep in debris sippin' on PG Tips like a chimpanzee

I'm the one-man jamboree, I won't ram out ya jam for free

I perform for a standard fee cause I'm freezin' cold

Sleepin' with no central heatin'

I can even see mould growin' on the ceilin'

From my neighbours pipes that keep leakin'

In need of some herbal healin', I search and rummage

Eyes light up like rubies in a world of rubbish

Lookin' bummy like Wurzel Gummage, drunk and undernourished

Run ya gums and get rushed by the scrummage

The man with the dish-pan hands

Big band bustin' up ya tin pan jams

[Chorus:]

Adventures in New Bohemia

Spark it everyday!

Adventures in New Bohemia

Cause that's the place we stay

Adventures in New Bohemia

We got to pay the rent

Adventures in New Bohemia

That's what we represent
