about

This track..? It came from people watching in pubs! (Not very nice pubs!)

lyrics

(Game on, Les to throw first!)

Poundshop slacks that shock 'em all
Pristine white, gauche velour
See 'em dazzle, striking a pose
Sparrow legs on tippy toes

Bag o' nuts and a pint o' porter
Seven foot nine, and a quarter
Step aside and watch the master work

Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah!
("Lend us a quid")

A hand on hip, and a hand aloft
With squinting eyes, that feintly cross
The out-of-body, tongue askance
The "I'm a wrong 'un" teapot stance
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!

(-guitar solo-)

Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah! In off the wire!
Oo! Ah!
("Yeah, I meant that-")

Oche Jockey!
Oche Jockey!
Oche Jockey!
Oche Jockey!

Les G! In off the wire!
Les G! In off the wire!
Les G! In off the wire!
Les G!

(“Well get us a pint then…..?”)
