lyrics

He sullied the place
little sister laid her head
beat him black and blue
and left him for dead
in the dirty street outside
he died

Suicide and sodomy
in the cells and showers of Leeds
all cooped up inside
he took his life

And new lovers in pairs in paradise
all pulled their eyes away from the sight

Now outside your home
cold waterlogged alone
brought a present along
for the beautiful bride

And I fell your love no more
when I'm hazed and dazed
on the floor won't you
smack me out of my mind

New lovers in pairs in paradise
all pulled their eyes away from the sight

He sullied the place...

And new lovers in pairs in paradise
all pulled their eyes away from the sight
and the passing skaghead stood and laughed
