Backstreet Lovers

Backstreet Lovers - The Crookes

Razor tea cups and tip top craic

Of the crooked backstreet lovers and sons

Lawless law men walk the streets of

Dirty meadows of foul mouthed mothers and guns

Brick blacked up kids mugged me the day I

Ran off with your sister

A young school maid caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons I waved her away to a friend

Oh at least that's what she said

Rotting teeth of a grubby gran

Fill the alleys of the stolen roll ups and blunts

A skin head dad came cap in hand

With a duster and flash of switch blade fun

Still on the dole though the picket was broken

A soiled age ago

But he's caught up caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons I waved her away to a friend

Oh at least that's what she said

Tangled in the roots and tangled in the weeds

Of a concrete jungle came that girl from leeds

In torn dress and tights

She ain't no slag

I won her over with a '40 bag

I waved her away to a friend

At least that's what she said

Razor tea cups and tip top craic

Of the crooked backstreet lovers and sons

Lawless law men walk the streets of

Dirty meadows of foul mouthed mothers and guns

Brick blacked up kids mugged me the day I

Ran off with your sister

A young school maid caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons I waved her away to a friend

Oh at least that's what she said

Rotting teeth of a grubby gran

Fill the alleys of the stolen roll ups and blunts

A skin head dad came cap in hand

With a duster and flash of switch blade fun

Still on the dole though the picket was broken

A soiled age ago

But he's caught up caught up in a world of

Backstreet lovers

Lovers and sons
