Hello, hello, my name's Terry and I'm a law-abider There's nothin' I like more than gettin' fired up on beer And when the weekend's here I exercise my right to get paralytic and fightGood Bloke fairly But I get well leery when geezers look at me funny Bounce 'em round like bunnies I'm likely to cause mischiefGood clean grief you must believe And I ain't no thief, law-abidin' and all, all legal And who cares about my liver when it feels good? What you need is some real manhoodRasher, rasher, burnin' cash up Puttin' people's backs up Public disorder, I'll give you public disorder I down eight pints and run all over the placeSpit in the face of an officer, see if that bothers ya 'Cause I never broke a law in my life Some day I'm gonna settle down with a wife Come on lads let's have another fightUm, hello, my name's Tim and I'm a criminal In the eyes of society I need to be in jail For the choice of herbs I inhale This ain't no wholesale operationJust a few eighths and some play station's my vocation I pose a threat to the nation And down the station the police hold no patience Let's talk space and timeI like to get deep sometimes And think about Einstein and Carl Jung And old Kung Fu movies I like to see Pass the hydrator please, yeah, I'm floatin' on thin airGoing to Amsterdam in the New Year, top gear there 'Cause I take pride in my hobby Home-made bongs using my engineering degree "Dear leaders, please legalize weed for these reasons"Like I was saying to him, I told him, "Fuck with me and you won't live" So I smacked him in the head and downed another carling Bada bada bing, for the lad's like, mad fight His face a sad sight, Vodka and Snake BiteGoing on like a right geez, he's a twat Shouldn't have looked at me like that Anyway, I'm an upstandin' citizen If a war came along I'd be on the front line with 'emCan't stand crime either, them hooligans On heroin, drugs and criminals Those thugs are the pinnacle of the downfall of society I've got all the anger pent up inside of meYou know, I don't see why I should be the criminal How can somethin' with no recorded fatalities be illegal? And how many deaths are there per year from alcohol? I just completed gran turismo on the hardest settin'We pose no threat on my city Ooh, the pizza's here, will someone let him in please? We didn't order chicken Not a problem, we'll pick it outI doubt they meant to mess us about After all we're all adults, not louts As I was sayin', we're friendly peaceful people We're not the ones out there causin' troubleWe just sit in this hazy bubble with our quarters Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is MTV, BBC 2, Channel 4 is on until six in the mornin' Then six in the mornin' the sun dawns and it's my bedtimeCausin' trouble? Your stinkin' rabble boys Saying I'm the lad who's spoilin' it You're on drugsIt really bugs me when people try and tell me I'm a thug Just for gettin' drunk, I like gettin' drunk 'Cause I'm an upstandin' citizen If a war came along I'd be on the front line with 'emNow Terry, you're repeatin' yourself But that's okay, drunk people can't help that A chemical reaction happenin' inside your brain Causes you to forget what you're sayin'What? I know exactly what I'm sayin' I'm perfectly sane You stinkin' student lameo Go get a job and stop robbin' us of our taxesUm, well actually accordin' to research Government fundin' for further education pales in insignificance When compared to how much they spend on repairin' leery drunk people At the weekend, in casualty wards all over the landWhy you cheeky little swine come here I'm gonna batter ya, come here
Это интересно:Автора, идеолога и единственного участника проекта The Streets зовут Майк Скиннер. Приехав в Лондон из затрапезного Бирмингема (местных жителей принято называть "брамми" за их замысловатый акцент; например название своего города они произносят как Браммиджем – отсюда и кличка), он взялся за дело с присущим большинству провинциалов рвением и оказался самым востребованным на сегодня... продолжение
