Going Back to Coventry - The Men They Couldn't Hang

We hit this town last summer

On the inter city train

Me and Joe came down together

Just like we'd always been

Well I could play the guitar

An Joey had the brains

There was nothing left of Coventry

But a black and bloody stain

We walked up through Victoria

Named after the Empire's Queen

Signed on down in Westminster

Found digs in Kensington Lane

The first night we went out

We both got drunk and made a noise

Ran back across the Vauxhall bridge

Chased by the Chelsea boys

Next day we got up early

Just before the London rain

Joey had a meeting with man

They called John Wayne

He offered Joe a job

No questions asked cash in hand

Putting up an office block

On an empty patch of land

Tracks like a rainbow heading south

Takes me to a place I've dreamed about

While Joey screwed the social

I would practice my guitar

And took a few auditions playing

Whiskey in the Jar

Now I'm a one man band

And Joey he's my manager

And he tells me one day soon

He's going to make us into stars

So now we're both out working

On the tourists in the street

And we spend our nights in Soho

Like two moths drawn to the heat

We've got the rhythm of the river

And the rushing of the drains

It's like going back to Coventry

On that inter city train

Tracks like a rainbow heading south

Takes me to a place I've dreamed about
