lyrics

So I was drinking on another nothing night in Shoreditch
I met a wanker from The City had some pills to sell
He popped two blues into my hands and said ‘now this’ll sort ya’
And I weren’t doing nothing else so I said ‘what the hell’.
And suddenly my head went numb
He grinend just like a skeleton
and then I knew I had to run
glass to the floor, out of the door, and on in to the city

Way-o, Ah Diddly-o! Another night in London!
Hey-o, Ah Diddly-o! Didn’t we have some fun?
Everybody running for the last train on the underground
Hey-o, Way-o, down in London Town!

Running through the streets and I got lost in no short order
And if I kept on moving everything would be OK
Went into a shitty club just to get a drink of water
Went on to the dancefloor just to keep myself awake
The bass was mud, the lights were Tron,
Their eyes were all like Pokemon
And then I started on a bouncer
Glass to my throat, lost my coat
here we go again, so!

Way-o, Ah Diddly-o! Another night in London!
Hey-o, Ah Diddly-o! Didn’t we have some fun?
Bottle of rum, pop of a gun, sirens in the distance,
Hey-o, Way-o, down in London Town!

Everything behind the houses looks like it’s on fire
Everyone was screaming now
I’m pretty sure I went into a party down a side street
My God who’d bring children?

I met him later on that night in an all night cafe in Dalston
To cut the story short he had had four more than me
He couldn’t blink his eyes and he had blood upon his trousers
He said the guy he got them from swore blind that they were pure
And he said ‘Oh God I’m sorry, man.’
And I said ‘Don’t you worry, man.
We’ll find the cunt you got them from’
And I gave him some gear, a bottle of beer,
‘hair of the dog’ll sort ya!’

Way-o, Ah Diddly-o! Another night in London!
Hey-o, Ah Diddly-o! Didn’t we have some fun?
Sorrow’s drowned, watch the sun come up on Hackney Downs
Hey-o, Way-o, down in London Town!
