Subject: Lyr Add: STRANGEWAYS HOTEL (Mike Harding)
I can't find a link to the lyrics but you will find the song being performed by Mrs 'ardin's kid on Youtube and Yahoo if you Google 'Strangeways Hotel - Mike Harding'.

From memory...

Last Saturday night I got into a fight
I woke up on Wednesday in a hell of a fright
The judge said 'Young feller, you're going for a spell
Six months hard labour in the Stangeways Hotel'

Chorus
Too-ra-loo, I can tell
They've bloody strange ways in the Strangeways Hotel

It's porridge for breakfast it's strong and it's thick
It clogs up the drains and puts big lumps on your... elbows
How do they make more up when one lot's all spent
They mix two loads of sand up with one of cement

Chorus

It's fish every Friday it's fish two foot wide
It covers your plate and hangs over the side
You can tell that it's Friday just by the smell
Coz the fish have all done time in the Strangeways Hotel

Chorus

There is at least another verse, I think, about bedbugs and possibly one about not going back again but as I cannot get Social sites at work you will have to look it up yourself!

Cheers
