[D] When I first came [G] to London [A] I was only [D] sixteen
[G] With a fiver [A] in my pocket [D] and my old [A] dancing bag
[G] I went down to [A] the deli [D] to check out [A] the scene
[D] But I soon [G] ended up upon [A] the old [D] mine drag
There the hay males [G] and the she-males [A] paraded [D] in style
And [G] the old men [A] with the money [D] would flush you [A] a smile
[G] In the dock [A] of an alley [D] you'd work [A] for a fine
[D] For a swift one [G] off the wrist [A] down on the old [D] mine drag
In the cold [G] winter nights [A] the old [D] towners was chill
[G] But there were boys in [A] the cafes [D] who'd give you [A] cheap pills
[G] If you didn't [A] have the money [D] you'd catch old or [A] you'd bet
[D] There was always lots [G] of chewing on [A] the old [D] mine drag
[A]
[D] One evening [G] as I was lying [A] down by [D] Leicester Square
[G] I was pulled in [A] by the covers [D] and kicked in [A] the balls
[G] Between the metal doors [A] at Vine Street [D] I was beaten [A] and mauled
[D] And they ruined [G] my good looks [A] for the old mine [D] drag
In that ship station [G] the old ones who [A] were on the way [D] out
[G] Would dribble [A] and vomit and [D] grovel and [A] shout
[G] And the coppers [A] would come along [D] and push them [A] about
And [D] I wished I could [G] escape from [A] the old mine [D] drag
But now I [G] am lying here [A] I have had too [D] much booze
I've [G] been shot on [A] and spat on and [D] raped and [A] abused
[G] And now that I [A] am dying [D] and I wish I could [A] beg
For [D] some money to [G] take me [A] from the old mine drag
