Feltham Is Singing Out

It started off alright

We'd go out Friday night

And have a drink and do whatever made us feel alright

We'd stay out all weekend

Try taking everything

But never hurt no one

And so what, you only live once, I thought

Till I got bored

That weren't enough for you

You'd go out Monday too

And Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, till it all caught up with you

You're everyone's best friend

Long as they've got somethin'

I did not know you no more

Heartbreak, a sickness I can't see

Oh, oh, oh, no, no, no, no

Feltham is singing out

Feltham is singing out

Tonight a light's gone out

Twenty-one years old and out

Feltham is singing out

We all went out one night

You got us in a fight

You owed some money to a monkey who had seen you right

You sold your furniture

So you could pay him off

They cut the power, cut the phone, and you slept on the floor

You couldn't hold down a job

So then you had to rob

First from your mum, and then your friends, and then the local shops

But as a criminal

You're just no good at all

You got your collar felt

And – so dumb! – you thought about skippin' bail

Now you're in jail

Feltham is singing out

Feltham is singing out

Tonight a light's gone out

Twenty-one years old and out

Feltham is singing out

You don't like prison life

You loved to watch the sky

And you get beat and injured

End up throwing up all night

You could not take no more

So when they closed the door

Tore up your sheets, strung yourself up

And then you were no more, no more

Every day I, I, I see your face

As I walk on by past that awful place

Twenty-three hours in a cell

Each and every day just locked up, living hell

Living hell, living hell

Feltham is singing out

Feltham is singing out

Feltham is singing out
