"Kick In The Shins" lyrics

In Echo Park, they really did me in
They tied me up to some public bins
I said the Cavern Club is now a Morrisons
So here's a twisted arm
Here's a kick in the shins
I heard you got the job
I heard you're getting paid
Well, I'm in the garden, can you let me stay?
They threw me out of the YMCA
We could rent a movie and get takeaway

And the only time that they kick him around
He's crying out loud 'cause he's never been found
I've been hearing his voice from under the ground
Crying out loud 'cause you're never around

Oh, they really laid into me
Why'd they have to do that?

I know it's love, that is what naughty mothers do
And it's sex, that is what horny fathers choose
This bouncer seems to have the strangest views
We've been talking for ages, and I'm still confused

And the only time that they kick him around
He's crying out loud 'cause he's never been found
I've been hearing his voice from under the ground
Crying out loud 'cause you're never around

I've got nothing here but my records for one
Nothing here but for your weird son
I keep hearing his voice on Radio One
Crying out loud 'cause you're never around

And the only time that they kick him around
He's crying out loud 'cause he's never been found
I've been hearing his voice from under the ground
Crying out loud 'cause you're never around

I've got nothing here but my records for one
Nothing here but for your weird son
I keep hearing his voice on Radio One
Crying out loud 'cause you're never around

Yeah-yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah-yeah
