Let's Hang The Landlord Lyrics - Singles - The King Blues

was classic bullying material strictly speaking 

I was 4ft tall with 3ft mohican 

I bunked off school and bought some tattoo ink 

Engraved "punk 4 life" on my arm with a safety pin 

I was sleeping in a park and selling the Big Issue 

But this ain't no sob story so don't reach for the tissues 

These Spanish Punks they took me under their wing 

Opened up a squat in Clapham Common, they let me move in 

This place was fucking huge, I couldn't believe my luck 

But it was no stranger to the odd ruck 

I was sharing a room with a bloke called Geoff 

He had rotten teeth and the World's worst breath 

But we had such a time, graffing up all the walls 

Days trips to Brighton when the occasion called 

Drinking Red Wine and Coke, playing our music loud 

On a shitty old tape player we sung it proud 

We used to sing 

If we hang the Landlord from the top of the stairs 

We can live here forever without a care 

So let's hang the Landlord from the top of stairs 

We'll live like a millionaire 

Like a millionaire 

We looked out for each other, as a group we were tight 

All coppers are bastards, but we were alright 

Painting our leather jackets, spiking up our hair 

We looked like aliens out of anywhere 

If the tourists wanted a photo we would charge them a pound 

When we had enough we'd buy a bottle and pass it around 

??? 

And whatever we could find got thrown into the mix 

If we hang the Landlord from the top of the stairs 

We can live here forever without a care 

So let's hang the Landlord from the top of stairs 

We'll live like a millionaire 

Like a millionaire 

Now always blagging it into gigs for free 

Sneaking in our own cans after a robbing spree 

Getting chased out the offie and half way down the street 

Smiling at the girls we thought looked sweet 

And Bruv used to give me all his hand-me-downs 

He had a great big heart but he'd done too much brown 

Sarah used to look out for me, make sure I was alright 

When Mel and other people once got in a fight 

We used to sing 

If we hang the Landlord from the top of the stairs 

We can live here forever without a care 

So let's hang the Landlord from the top of stairs 

We'll live like a millionaire 

Like a millionaire 

A couple of years ago a tramp at Piccadilly he told me how I'm gonna die 

My head spun around until I sat on the curb and cried 

And I found my self sitting on Puff's begging patch 

I ain't seen him around I pray he didn't lose the match 

Now Al's in prison and he's the sensible one 

Don't let the bastards grind you down mate our time it begun 

Don't let the screws get in your head and fuck you up 

Because when you get out we'll string that Landlord up 

If we hang the Landlord from the top of the stairs 

We can live here forever without a care 

So let's hang the Landlord from the top of stairs 

We'll live like a millionaire 

Like a millionaire
