When you outfit the fit that you used to fit into because the pantry's  never locked and it's too easy to get into
and the summer's on the way with beach costumes that you want to,
fit into the fit that you always fitted into.
ramble with my hat on
she always posted my bail and
never asked what I d done
and she paid the back rent
twice
always had dinner for me

she loaned me money
and I never paid her back

and when I was gone

for 2 or 3 days
she didn't ask where I'd been

she broke my nose
with a non-stick frying pan

she broke my heart with a letter

she s the best I ever had

Honey,
if you read this:
i'm in the county jail,
call the bail bonds man
I need you more than ever

YOUR THE BEST I EVER HAD!
It's copper pipe or copper plate, eight quid a crate down the scrapyard.
pinching lead off the church roof was the nearest I got to a God,

the lightning rod was made of iron, no one in their right mind would buy one, but it looked good on my bedroom wall.

These days you need documentation
handshakes won't do,
everything's totted up and written down,
even to the last half-crown,

how's a spiv supposed to live?
Steppenwolf at the door
asking if
I wanna score.

When stocktaking is not
a criminal offence,
but shoplifting is.

But
the music plays along
with the words I make up
to my song.
I wish you all
most pleasant days
   no matter what the virus says

and that the year 2022
brings out the best
for me and you

      think positive, test negative

a better New Year to you all
reach for the skies, try not to fall !!
