Six months later, barnet's grown I got a mohair suit to call my own
Eb C# D D# E
Buttoned-down shirt with a window-pane check Brand new strides with a dogtooth fleck
F# F
Growing up, I need much more The youth club kids were such a bore
Eb C# D D# E
Me mate Neil says there's a place he knows Where his elder sister and her mates all go

Saturday night beneath the plastic palm trees
F# Eb C#
Dancing to the rhythm of The Guns of Navarone

Found my Mecca near Tottenham Hale Station
F# Eb C#
I discovered heaven in the Seven Sisters Road
F# F
Crews from Balham and Golders Green And loads of places I've never been
Eb C# D D# E
The stroke of ten, a fight breaks out Hear the bouncers scream and shout
F# F
Sling him out, he's wearing boots Cry the gangsters dressed in dinner suits
Eb C# D D# E
They black his eyes, his nose gets bent Courtesy of the management

Eddie Holman slows things down You ask a girl to dance, but you get turned down
Eb C# D D# E

I was cool, drinking rum & black And then felt sick on the journey back
Eb C# D D# E
I got soaked right through in the pouring rain But next week I'm going back again
F# F
Years have passed times have changed and all my lifes been rearranged
Eb C# D D# E
Now and then inside my mind [?]
