The Ballad Of Lyrics by Peter Doherty & Frédéric Lo

The Fantasy Life of Poetry & Crime

2022

Four men in a phone box
They're counting out Bare shots
The bounty's a sharecrop or someone get chop chopped
Someone get nut-jobbed
Someone get done John
And Jimmy's at Max's the girls on the mattress
I had to move fast track
I'm living in flashback it's how we do the Jack Jack
Fee-fi-fo-fum smell the blood of an Englishman
On the esplanade
I only took my self high and away
So did I let you down
All top boys and all top dogs bow down
Four men in a phone box
They are counting out Bare shots
The bounty's a sharecrop or someone get chop chopped
Someone get nut jobbed
Someone get done John
And Jimmy's at Max's the girls on a mattress
I had to move fast track it's how we do the Jack Jack
Living in flashback, living in flashback
Wherever you go... you go... I go
On the boulevard
I only take my self, high and away
So do I let you down
All top boys and all top dogs bow down
Hold the door, hold on, hold on
On the esplanade
I only take my self high and away
Do I let you down
All top boys and all top dogs bow down
Hold the door, hold on, hold on
