[03:27.76]Death by stereo [03:50.70] [04:18.23]Once upon a time, not too long ago [04:19.65] There was a boy, Donovan [04:20.74] Who decided to go [04:21.43] To the park in Soho for to smoke a fat spliff [04:23.04] The spliff was a gift from his old man [04:24.47] "No sh*t!" [04:24.94] Yeah sh*t mate, cos we're grown up nowza [04:26.33] Donny had the hash wrapped, stuffed down his trousers [04:27.96] Sat down on a bench, pulled the stuff out [04:29.53] "Isn't that illegal?" [04:30.47] I hear you shout [04:31.21] Well, yes, yes it is [04:32.47] Yes it is kinda [04:33.12] But he heard that it had got decriminalized by the [04:34.43] London cops who had enough to do [04:35.99] What with all the murderers and terrorists too [04:37.72] "Sweet", thought he, sat upon the bench [04:39.44] Opened up the package and he marvelled at the stench [04:41.05] Pulled out his papers and he made himself a roach [04:42.76] That's when his mate saw boys in blue approach [04:44.53]Donovan said, "hmm. [04:46.71]I wonder what they want?" [04:50.42]Two cops suddenly right up in his face [04:52.54] Yet again the don thought "opposite of ace!" [04:54.28] Dudes looked pissed off, young and amazed [04:55.86] That he thought that he could smoke a joint up in this place [04:57.60] So they searched him, checked him, cuffed him [04:59.52] Found him on they database, booked him, tooked him [05:00.78] Back up to the pig pen, but along the way [05:02.44] Ran into another bunch of piggies who say: [05:04.05] "What you doing with this lad then?" heed: [05:05.86] They say: "had a bit of w**d" [05:07.42] "Had a bit of w**d? [05:07.91] And you aint letting him go?" [05:09.02] The two young coppers say, "no". [05:10.39] "That blows!" thinks he, "just my luck! [05:12.25]Two pigs in the whole town that give a f**k." [05:13.95] But he's stuck, they stick him in a van [05:15.68] Drive him to the station and they march him right in [05:17.25]Donovan said " [05:20.08]I don't wanna go to jail" [05:23.60]Donny went to court and looked a right state in his filthy trousers [05:30.19] He got bail under condition that he went stay at his mam's house [05:37.01] And observe a curfew to be home by ten on every evening [05:43.47] They would check in randomly so there could not be no deceiving [05:50.16]Safe, Donny was temporarily free [05:51.95] Met his boys outside the court, went on a spree [05:53.56] Then upon a three hour journey to his mummy's [05:55.13] Very very soon this ceased to be funny [05:56.67] Plus there was another urgent issue to be sorted [05:58.34] If he went back to America, then he would be deported [06:00.69] They don't like druggies [06:01.76] (Unless they elect them) [06:02.73] Anyway, drop the conviction, that was the order of the day [06:04.87] In order to avoid a verdict he would have to pay [06:06.56] An inordinate amount of money to a lawyer who [06:08.29] Would write the courts a letter that would get them not to do [06:09.96] Anything to the boy [06:10.80] SQUASH THAT CASE [06:11.55] Which they did which was ace [06:12.96]So what did we learn?
