1. I FOUGHT THE LAW

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won (x2)

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won (x2)
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won (x2)

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

I fought the law and the law won (x7)
I fought the law and the


2. CITY OF THE DEAD

This is the city of the dead
As we lie side by side in bed
I'd do something else instead
But it is the city of the dead

We went out kickin' around
But you got drunk an' fallen down
An' i wished i could be like you
With the soho river drinking me down

In the city of the dead
Fall in love an' fall in bed
It wasn't anything you said
Except i know we both lie dead

Don't you know where to cop
That's what new york johnny said
You should get to know your town
Just like i know mine

While all the windows stare ahead
An' the streets are filled with dread
Every nation in the world
Slinks through the alley after girls

What we wear is dangerous gear
It'll get you picked on anywhere
Though we get beat up we don't care
At least it livens up the air

But somedays we hide inside
All courage gone and paralysed
Sniff that wind of ugly tension
Today the jerks have got aggression

It is the city of the dead


3. 1977

In 1977 I hope I go to heaven
Cos I been too long on the dole
And I can't work at all

Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones

In 1977
In 1977
Knives in West 11
Ain't so lucky to be rich
Sten guns in Knightsbridge

Danger stranger
You better paint your face
No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones

In 1977
In 1977

You're on the never never
You think it can't go on forever
But the papers say it's better
I don't care 'cos I'm not all there
No Elvis, Beatles, or The Rolling Stones

In 1977
Sod the Jubilee
In 1978
In 1979
Stayed in bed
In 1980
In 1981

The toilet don't work
In 1982
In 1983
Here come the police
In 1984
