Hiding in Public
Picture Of Me With A Portrait Of The Queen
Lyrics
Ruby don't worry
We're going for curry
Gonna hurry over to Bricklane
For vindaloo and cheap champagne
Where London's going up in flames

We crawl to the west end
To meet the next friend
At a battle called the Duke of Kent
My china he's behind with the rent
He tells a story I couldn't invent

We sink a ship full sail
And drink until our troubles are missed

Chorus

Floating down the Thames
Past Big Ben
Beneath a Waterloo sky

There's Tower Bridge around the bend
That's where canaries cry
I read the mail with a cup of tea

There's a picture of me
With a portrait of the queen
_________

Skirts and bacon
Her body was shakin'
Magic wand, carpet and rugs
The room was filled with spiders and bugs
So refined on their designer drugs

He fancied a trannie
No nook and cranny
But the granny wanted bangers & mash
She reminded him of Johnny Cash
He ran away while she was taking a slash

We sink a ship full sail
And drink until our troubles are missed

(Chorus)

Bridge

The noise of the crowd on an English day
Singing along at the football game

Betting on inside tips
Win a mouthful of fists and chips

(Chorus)
