Streets - The Irony Of It All lyrics

rate me

Hello, hello. my names terry and I'm a law abider<br />

There's nothing I like more than getting fired up on beer<br />

And when the weekends here I to exercise my right to get paralytic and fight<br />

Good bloke fairly<br />

But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny<br />

Bounce 'em round like bunnies<br />

I'm likely to cause mischief<br />

Good clean grief you must believe and I ain't no thief.<br />

Law abiding and all, all legal.<br />

And who cares about my liver when it feels good<br />

Wwhat you need is some real manhood.<br />

Rasher rasher barney and kasha putting peoples backs up.<br />

Public disorder, I'll give you public disorder.<br />

I down eight pints and run all over the place<br />

Spit in the face of an officer<br />

See if that bothers you cause I never broke a law in my life<br />

Someday I'm gonna settle down with a wife<br />

Come on lads lets have another fight<br />

<br />

Eh hello. my names tim and I'm a criminal,<br />

In the eyes of society I need to be in jail<br />

For the choice of herbs I inhale.<br />

This ain't no wholesale operation<br />

Just a few eighths and some playstations my's vocation<br />

I pose a threat to the nation<br />

And down the station the police hold no patients<br />

Let's talk space and time<br />

I like to get deep sometimes and think about einstein<br />

And carl young and old kung fu movies I like to see<br />

Pass the hydrator please<br />

Yeah I'm floating on thin air.<br />

Going to amsterdam in the new year - top gear there<br />

Cause I taker pride in my hobby<br />

Home made bongs using my engineering degree<br />

Dear leaders, please legalise weed for these reasons.<br />

<br />

Like I was saying to him.<br />

I told him: top with me and you won't leave.<br />

So I smacked him in the head and downed another carling<br />

Bada bada bing for the lad's night.<br />

Mad fight, his face's a sad sight.<br />

Vodka and snake bite.<br />

Going on like a right geez, he's a twat,<br />

Shouldn't have looked at me like that.<br />

Anyway I'm an upstanding citizen<br />

If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.<br />

Can't stand crime either them hooligans on heroin.<br />

Drugs and criminals those thugs on the penny coloured will be the downfall of society<br />

I've got all the anger pent up inside of me.<br />

<br />

You know I don't see why I should be the criminal<br />

How can something with no recorded fatalities be illegal<br />

And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol<br />

I just completed gran tourismo on the hardest setting<br />

We pose no threat on my settee<br />

Ooh the pizza's here will someone let him in please<br />

We didn't order chicken, not a problem we'll pick it out<br />

I doubt they meant to mess us about<br />

After all we're all adults not louts.<br />

As I was saying, we're friendly peaceful people<br />

We're not the ones out there causing trouble.<br />

We just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters<br />

Discussing how beautiful gail porter is.<br />

Mtv, bbc 2, channel 4 is on until six in the morning.<br />

Then at six in the morning the sun dawns and it's my bedtime.<br />

<br />

Causing trouble, your stinking rabble<br />

Boys saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it<br />

You're on drugs it really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm a thug<br />

Just for getting drunk<br />

I like getting drunk<br />

Cause I'm an upstanding citizen<br />

If a war came along I'd be on the front line with em.<br />

<br />

Now terry you're repeating yourself<br />

But that's okay drunk people can't help that.<br />

A chemical reaction inside your brain causes you to forget what you're saying.<br />

<br />

What. I know exactly what I'm saying<br />

I'm perfectly sane<br />

You stinking student lameo<br />

Go get a job and stop robbing us of our taxes.<br />

<br />

Err, well actually according to research<br />

Government funding for further education pales in insignificance<br />

When compared to how much they spend on repairing<br />

Leery drunk people at the weekend<br />

In casualty wards all over the land.<br />

<br />

Why you cheeky little swine come here<br />

I'm gonna batter you. come here.
