[ti:The Old Main Drag] [ar:The Pogues] [al:Rum Sodomy & The Lash] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Old Main Drag - The Pogues [00:35.64]When I first came to London I was only sixteen [00:40.65] [00:41.52]With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag [00:46.70] [00:47.70]I went down to the dilly to check out the scene [00:52.63] [00:53.31]And I soon ended up on the old main drag [00:58.60] [00:59.22]There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style [01:04.04] [01:05.23]And the old man with the money would flash you a smile [01:10.74]In the dark of an alley you'd work for a five [01:16.82]For a swift one off the wrist down on the old main drag [01:22.19] [01:22.81]In the cold winter nights the old town it was chill [01:28.48]But there were boys in the cafes who'd give you cheap pills [01:33.79] [01:34.54]If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg [01:39.65] [01:40.22]There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag [01:45.83] [01:57.88]One evening as I was lying down by Leicester Square [02:03.81]I was picked up by the coppers and kicked in the balls [02:09.30]Between the metal doors at Vine Street I was beaten and mauled [02:15.10]And they ruined my good looks for the old main drag [02:21.38]In the tube station the old ones who were on the way out [02:26.47] [02:27.16]Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout [02:32.31] [02:33.06]And the coppers would come along and push them about [02:38.68]And I wished I could escape from the old main drag [02:43.97] [02:44.90]And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze [02:49.96] [02:50.52]I've been spat on and shat on and raped and abused [02:56.16]I know that I am dying and I wish I could beg [03:01.47] [03:02.15]For some money to take me from the old main drag
