The Old Main Drag - The Pogues[00:00:00]
When I first came to London I was only sixteen[00:00:35]
With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag[00:00:41]
I went down to the dilly to check out the scene[00:00:47]
And I soon ended up on the old main drag[00:00:53]
There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style[00:00:59]
And the old man with the money would flash you a smile[00:01:05]
In the dark of an alley you'd work for a five[00:01:10]
For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag[00:01:16]
In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill[00:01:22]
But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills[00:01:28]
If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg[00:01:34]
There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag[00:01:40]
One evening as I was lying down by Leicester Square[00:01:57]
I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls[00:02:03]
Between the metal doors at Vine Street I was beaten and mauled[00:02:09]
And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag[00:02:15]
In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out[00:02:21]
Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout[00:02:27]
And the coppers would come along and push them about[00:02:33]
And I wished I could escape from the old main drag[00:02:38]
And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze[00:02:44]
I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused[00:02:50]
I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg[00:02:56]
For some money to take me from the old main drag[00:03:02]
