The Prison's Going Down Lyrics - Hugh Cornwell

Arthur lying down dreaming a dream 

Woke up to realise life wasn't as it seems 

Four walls a bed and a wonderful view 

But he's feeling lonely without the rest of his crew 

The prison's going down 

Arthur wide awake feels misunderstood 

What did he do to upset the neighbourhood? 

Just being free as a bird 

After all that's what they said they loved 

When will it be explained to him when he gets above? 

The prison's going down 

Arthur's thinking 'bout the past 

All of those crazy times loving very fast 

What does the future hold will he get out soon? 

Is there someone out there 

Who'll phone him this afternoon? 

The prison's going down
