[00:00.00]The Old Main Drag - The Pogues
[00:35.64]When I first came to London I was only sixteen
[00:41.52]With a fiver in my pocket and my ole dancing bag
[00:47.70]I went down to the dilly to check out the scene
[00:53.31]And I soon ended up on the old main drag
[00:59.22]There the he-males and the she-males paraded in style
[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
[01:22.81]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
[01:34.54]If you didn't have the money you'd cajole or you'd beg
[01:40.22]There was always lots of tuinol on the old main drag
[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
[02:27.16]Would dribble and vomit and grovel and shout
[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
[02:44.90]And now I'm lying here I've had too much booze
[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
[03:02.15]For some money to take me from the old main drag
