Harry May lyrics

Didn't want the dole money in his hand

So he formed a chaos band

He didn't depend on anyone
He wanted to have some fun

[Chorus:]

Johnny took a chance that's what he said

Nobody Listened and now he's dead

He didn't want no boring job

Or to become part of the mob

He didn't rely on anyone

and so became a kid on the run

He was the one who led the crowd

I run a shop upon the hill

I give out orders at my will

People do as they're told

Till the day that they're old
Apart from the work, life's a toss

Cos at home my wife's the boss

I've got mortgage and all the loans

And a wife 3 kids and moans

[Chorus:]

Mortgage Mentality,

Mortgage Mentality, Mortgage Mentality

Mortgage Mentality

I'm not really the one in charge

Harry runs his business

From above the dodgy Ino

His brother is a chemist
It's a front for Anadin

What's his name? Harry May <i>[x2]

[Chorus:]

Harry <i>[x4]</i> May, Harry [x4] May

Harry's got a roller

A shooter in the boot

Killing is his living

It's where he makes his loot

Now he's turned 60

He's given up his shooter

And he's always on the piss

You preach anarchy, but you make the rules

Setting up heros like celluloid fools

In 20 lines you put the the world to right
You're anti war, but you wanna fight

[Chorus:]

Guttersnipe, Guttersnipe

you ain't so right

you ain't worth, ain't worth a light

You spread the lies to hide the truth

leaders of the misled youth

Promote the myth to hide the vice

Half past 5 I'm in the pub

Six O'clock it's home for grub

Eight O'clock I'm back to the bar
Sod the walk I'll take the car

[Chorus:]

Knock it back

Have another one

Drinking and driving is so much fun

In the motor off you go

Not too fast and not too slow

Keep your head and keep your cool

Must avoid that rightful pull

As you meander down the road

They found him in the lane

With cocaine in his brain

They found him on his own Someone saw him lying there

[Chorus:]

I heard what was said

Another rebel dead

They say he killed himself

But it was someone else

His name was on their list

And now he don't exist

He didn't stand a chance

Upon his grave they dance

They were determined to blow him out

And so the papers read
