***The Old Main Drag - by Shane MacGowan from the album "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" The Old Main Drag - as perfomed by The Pogues Intro |D G A D|G A D A|G A D A|D G A D||
When I Dfirst caGme to London AI was onDly sixteen With a Gfiver Ain my pocketD and my ole Adancing bag I Gwent dowAn to thDe dilly to chAeck out the scene And I Dsoon ended uGp upon tAhe old maDin drag
There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style And the old man with the money would flash you a smile In the dark of an alley you'd work for a fiver For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag Inst |A |A || One evening as I was lying down by Leicester Square I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls Between the metal doors at Vine Street I was beaten and mauled And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout And the coppers would come along and push them about And I wished I could escape from the old main drag And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg
ForD someG money tAo take me from the old main drag
