Feltham Is Singing Out

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It started off alright We'd go out Friday night And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright We'd stay out all weekend Try taking everything But never hurt no-one and so what? You only live once - I thought Till I got bored [Verse 2] That weren't enough for you You'd go out Monday too And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday till it all caught up with you You're everyone's best friend 'Long as they've got something I did not know you no more Heartbreak - a sickness I can't see Oh oh oh, no no no no [Chorus] Feltham is singing out Feltham is singing out Tonight a light's gone out 21 years old and out Feltham is singing out [Verse 3] We all went out one night You got us in a fight You owed some money To a monkey who had seen you right You sold your furniture So you could pay him off They cut the power Cut the phone and you slept on the floor [Verse 4] You can't hold down a job So then you had to rob First from your mum and then your friends and then the local shops But as a criminal You're just no good at all You got your collar felt And so dumb, you thought about skipping bail Now you're in jail [Chorus] Feltham is singing out Feltham is singing out Tonight a light's gone out 21 years old and out Feltham is singing out [Verse 5] You don't like prison life You loved to watch the sky And you'd get beaten and you'd end up throwing up all night You could not take no more So when they closed the door Tied up your sheets, strung yourself up And then you were no more, no more [Bridge] Every day I, I, I see your face As I walk on by past that awful place 23 hours in a cell Each and every day just like a living hell, living hell, living hell [Chorus] Feltham is singing out Feltham is singing out Feltham is singing out
