Workhouse?   Yeah? What do you want?   Information   Who the fuck do you think you are? You never fucking stop. Always wanting something for nothing.. OK. I'll give you want you want. I'll give you information      All these songs about Christ, spooks and personal vendettas   Organ donations, there's a mini operetta   Are people gonna say you've gone off your rocker   Well, I'm the brightest thing on the roster   And I sleep well when I turn out the light   I'm like an off-duty comedian at the end of a bad night   Easy to like admire, difficult to love   You've gotta believe me when I say I never wanted to be liked   And I defy the curfew   A sense of humour is the most overrated virtue      Get off your knees you grovelling bastards   This is Oliver twist pissing over Britannia   200 years of Tin Pan Alley   I learned good from a king thief mentor   Newgate, Broadstreet, Langdales Distillery   Papist threats and no popery   It's a beautiful night again   So paint the wall white again   Brutality for the kids   Oliver Twist      There was this gang who I used to run with   Ragamuffins, urchin scum, spivs   Looking good comes in handy   When you're dipping in the pockets of a dandy   And there's treason in the air, it's just a leap of faith   There's murder in the air at Rillington Place   A Christie lives in Soho   This is the Oliver Twist Manifesto   Totality for the kids   Oliver Twist      I'm operating now under four different names   I can use anyone of them, anytime again   And I've never been one to hold a grudge   Twists has turned vicious      What if all the malevolent cripples   The Raspberry ripples   Are just putting it on?   And they're the brightest of all of the people   Oliver Twist, vaudeville Spook mentalist   Disappear into a pea souper   Swooping down on your back   Coming out of a cold snap   Into a pea souper   A cartarista      It was meant to be great    But it's gone wrong again   It's a beautiful night   So paint the wall white again   Get of your knees    'Cos Christie lives   It's a beautiful night for Treason   Oliver Twist   Oliver Twist
