THE OLD MAIN DRAG Intro : D G A D G A D A G A D A D G A D D G A D When I first came to London I was only sixteen G A D A With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag G A D A I went down to the dilly to check out the scene D G A D And I soon ended up on the old main drag D G A D There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style G A D A And the old man with the money would flash you a smile G A D A In the dark of an alley you'd work for a fiver D G A D For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag D G A D In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill G A D A But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills G A D A If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg D G A D There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag D G A D One evening as I was lying down by Leicester Square G A D A I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls G A D A Between the metal doors at Vine Street I was beaten and mauled D G A D And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag A D G A D In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out G A D A Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout G A D A And the coppers would come along and push them about D G A D And I wished I could escape from the old main drag D G A D And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze G A D A I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused G A D A I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg D G A For some money to take me from the old main drag
