Itinerant Child Lyrics - Ian Dury & The Blockheads

I took out all the seats and away I went 

it's a right old banger and the chassis' bent 

it's got a great big peace sign across the back 

and most of the windos have been painted black 

the windshield's cracked, it's a bugger to drive 

it starts making smoke over forty-five 

it's a phsychedelic nightmare with a million leaks 

it's home-sweet-home to ssome sweet arse freaks 

slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger 

slow down itinerant child, there's no more 'welcome, stanger' 

soon I was rumbling through the mornign fog 

with my long haired children and my one eyed dog 

with the trucks and the buses and the trailer-vans 

my long throw horns playing Steely Dan

we straggled out for miles along the Beggar's Hill 

when the word came donw that we'd lost Old Bill 

you can bet your boots i'm coming when the times are hard 

that's why they keep my dossier at Scotland Yard 

slow down itinernat child, you're still accelerating 

slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting 

itinernat child don't do what your doing 

itinerant child you'd better slow down 

we drove into Happy Valley seeking peace and love 

with a lone helicopter hanging up above 

we didn't realise untill we hit the feild 

there were four hundred cozzers holding riot sheilds 

they terrorized our babies and they broke our heads 

it's a stone fucking miracle there's no-one dead 

they turned my ramshackle home into a burning wreck 

my one-eyed dog got a broken neck
