Intro :

When I f irst came to Lon don I was o nly sixte en

With a f iver in my p ocket and my ole dancing bag

I w ent down to the d illy to ch eck out the sc ene

And I s oon ended u p on the o ld main dr ag

There the he-males and the s he-males par aded in st yle

And the old man with the m oney would fl ash you a sm ile

In the d ark of an a lley you'd wo rk for a f iver

For a sw ift one off the wr ist down on the o ld main dr ag

In the c old winter ni ghts the old to wn it was ch ill

But there w ere boys in the c afes who'd g ive you cheap p ills

If you d idn't have the m oney you'd caj ole or you'd b eg

There was a lways lots of tu inol on the o ld main dr ag

One e vening as I was ly ing down by L eicester Squ are

I was p icked up by the c oppers and k icked in the b alls

Between the m etal doors at V ine Street I was b eaten and m auled

And they ru ined my g ood looks for the o ld main dr ag

In the t ube station the o ld ones who were on the way o ut

Would dr ibble and v omit and gr ovel and sh out

And the c oppers would c ome along and p ush them ab out

And I wi shed I c ould escape from the old main d rag

And n ow I'm lyin g here I've h ad too much bo oze

I've been s pat on and sh at on and r aped and ab used

I kn ow that I am d ying and I w ish I could b eg

For some m oney to t ake me from the o ld main drag
