Hello, good evening and welcome   to nothing much,   A no holds barred half -nelson   and the loving touch   The comfort and the joy   of feeling lost   With the only living boy in New Cross      Fill another suitcase   with another haul   Of hotel towels and toothpaste   and the bathroom wall   Then wipe the lipstick hearts and flowers   from the glass and chrome   Take five or six hot showers   and come on home   To the comfort and the joy   of feeling lost   With the only living boy in New Cross      I've teamed up with the hippies now   I've got my fringe unfurled   I want to give peace, love and kisses out   to this whole stinking world   The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves   The good, the bad, the average and unique   The grebos the crusties and the goths   And the only living boy in New Cross      Eyes down and I'll keep you up to date   Two fat ladies in 1988   The safe sixteen lovers who lied   Purley's queen and mother makes five   Butchered bakers, deaf and dumb waiters   Marble Arch criminals and clause 28'ers   Authers, authors, plastered outcasts   Locked up daughter, rock and roll stars   Goodbye Rudy, David and Rosie   Abraham and Julianne   and everyone that knows me      The gypsies, the travellers and the thieves   The good, the bad, the average and unique   The grebos the crusties and you and I   Hello, goodevening, welcome   and goodbye
