"Bingo" lyrics

"Bingo"

Oh, drawn by a multitude of different factors
What make this town my home
And God save the piss head and thespian actor
Relieved of everything they own

But look at me now, I'm curled up like a fat cat
Kicked into hell and back
So I throw in the towel to a bouquet of laughter
I'm rolling along the ground

Oh, this town
Cartwheels, tripping out of control again
Oh, this town
Balancing, falling off into no man's land

And Old Mother Redcap
She pours out her heart but of all the tales she tells
The Kentiston Cobbler
Winks over my shoulder and bids me a fond farewell

But be forewarned in Camden Town
Over and over and out

Oh, this town
Cartwheels, tripping out of control again
Oh, this town
I'm balancing, I'm falling off into no man's land

Oh, this clown
Who expects, yeah nothing from a nothing so
Just leave me to drown
In the tears of a very happy old man

Oh, this town
Cartwheels, tripping out of control again
Oh, this town
I'm balancing, I'm falling off into no man's land

Oh, this old clown
Who expects, yeah, nothing from a nothing so
Just leave me to drown
In the tears of bingo
