Passed out in an overturned car, with cuts and bruises from where I fell Went out to get tobacco, next thing I know I’m in a prison cell They grant me a phone call, I dial and say “Hey, Ma, I’m in jail” I drank all her whiskey, she won’t come to post my bail
Well, if you wanna look down on me, we can take this outside I’ve had one hell of a day, this life’s been one hell of a ride Well, if you wanna patronise me, I’ll see the devil’s point of view I ain’t got nothing to lose, I’m just a jailbound fool
Policeman’s acting like a clown, says I’m a loser and a disgrace (a disgrace) So I reply “Being a constable at Brixton Met doesn’t mean you’re leader of the human race” Next thing I know he’s punching me, I can’t wait to get out of here (run, boy, run) Can’t wait to get back to the pub, to get a bellyful of cold beer (cold beer)
Well, if you wanna look down on me, we can take this outside I’ve had one hell of a day, this life’s been one hell of a ride Well, if you wanna patronise me, I’ll see the devil’s point of view I ain’t got nothing to lose, I’m just a jailbound fool
Took the tube when I got out, no one wanted to pick me up (what a surprise) Next thing I know I’m ten pints down Karaoke singing in a club (Wonderwall)
An ugly fella comes up to me And pipes up “Hey man, you’re outta key” I broke his nose with the microphone Now I’m back in the penitentiary
Well, if you wanna look down on me, we can take this outside I’ve had one hell of a day, this life’s been one hell of a ride Well, if you wanna patronise me, I’ll see the devil’s point of view I ain’t got nothing to lose, I’m just a jailbound fool
