[?] The one and only... M.C. Sightsee [Verse 1] Here we buy some old English wreck And we tart it up for the girls to check It's mugs' night out at the old Palais And the girl wants a ride on a Saturday It's time for the hour for the drunks to shout As the barman shoves the people out The red light says, "Come on down" And street fights break out all over town [Chorus 1] It's an English custom, it's ceremony I'm your guide for the ride, Sightsee M.C I've been in Pentonville, I've been in Battersea I'm your guide for the ride, Sightsee M.C [Hook 1, spoken] I buy tickets and pick a room "Oh you go shoot your mouth off in Hyde Park" [Verse 2] We got plenty of sixties slums They said she jumped from floor twenty-one It's empty now, but it blocks out the sun Used to be the shape of things to come The children runnin' ragged, breaking the glass Smashing the lights in the underpass Gonna need no flag when they're seventeen For waving at someone who looks like the Queen I've been in Chinatown, I've been in Embassy I`m your guide for the ride, Sightsee M.C Casino Dino and Roulette Len All know my name and back again [?] "read all about it! Standard! Standard! Come again!" This alley runs to the farm on the hill Where the nights are wild, and the petrol spill Firestone Freddy and Molotov Jack Their shadow goes, but it soon come back Striking sparks in floods of oil No name, no flag for mother soil You can guarantee she'll burn tonight 'Cause England keeps the household white You know it ain't safe, it`s way too early or late The Mets gonna getcha down in Bishop's Gate I ain't at number 10, I'm at number 23B I`m your guide for the ride, Sightsee M.C I am the one and only Champion M.C "It is always later than we think" Take all the bed box people and the opera lights London town is yours tonight Well, it's over to you, and bye from me I'm your guide for the ride, Sightsee M.C [Audio samples] "Who cares? You march across Westminster Bridge and past the House of Commons Up the steps of the Home Office, right into the fortress of reaction." "Standard lunch time edition" "Send out a mayday to London" "Mayday, mayday, mayday" "Captain Scarlet is indestructible - you are not Remember this...do not try to imitate him."
