about

This song was later recorded by the band Po! on their 1996 album Not Marked On The Ordnance Map

lyrics

If I had a little car
I’d take you down the motorway
To the place you see as home
Though you’ve been gone a year or more

You think my town is insignificant
It hurts when you knock it down

And if I had a brain like yours
I wouldn’t kill it with alcohol
It’s a waste and the days slip by
You haven’t made your mark on the world

You think your privilege is nice
You’re living sacrilege not sacrifice

Hoof it to your friends
Prove it to your friends
London needs you now
London’s got its thumb right down

And if I had a face like yours
I’d work on being humble
Every day you frown and scowl
Those little lines are here to stay

Empty vessels make the most noise
And boys will be boys will be boys
