Thread Name: Lyr Req: Send In The Browns
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Send In The Browns
Aah hord it by Fred Wedlock:
Isn't it strong Newcastle beer Me lying here on the ground Legs in the air Where are the browns? There ought to be browns
Just when I'd stopped falling through doors Finally finding my way from the 'gents' to the bar Making my entrance again with my usual flair Arse over tit! straight down the stairs
I looked a prat! I felt a berk Just like a three-legged man with one leg that worked Send in the browns Send in the clown Don't bother I'm here
Aah thowt ye might like this'n an' aall
I've been out on the town care of Newcastle Brown And I don't think I'll get home this-a-way The pub door is shut tight and I'm alone, here in the night And I'm just a hundred yards away from home
Chorus A hundred yards, A hundred yards, A hundred yards, A hundred yards And I'm just a hundred yards away from home
I can't shout, scream or stutter as I lie here in the gutter And the last bus home leaves treadmarks on my tie I've got my foot stuck down this drain and it's coming on to rain And I'm just a hundred yards away from home
Well, I'm feeling kinda funny – It must be that Madras curry I can see my front door in the neon light (That split the night) I can hear the steady beat of some copper's hob-nailed feet And I'm just a hundred yards away from home
In this prison cell I lie with vomit down my tie Take heed young man! Wherever you may roam If you think you're the wild rover just be sure you don't fall over Just a hundred yards away from home
