Fleet Street Blues Lyrics
Am gonna go down to Fleet Street
Gonna set the record straight
Gonna go down to Fleet Street
Gonna set the record straight
This ain’t no police
It’s a paper state
They bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Like sewer rats
Scrapping through the night
Black and white, black and white
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Black and white, black and white
Two wrongs don’t make a right
Tiger Tiger burning bright
In the heat of the night
They steal the washing of your line
And the trash out of your bin
Steal the washing of your line
And the trash out of your bin
They won’t give up
That’s a sure thing
They bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Like sewer rats
Scrapping through the night
Was Lady D done by the press
Snapped as her life ebbed away
Lady D done by the press
Snapped as her life ebbed away
How did it feel
There’s no more to say
They bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Bury you in black and white
They sure don’t care what they write
Like sewer rats
Scrapping through the night
Paul Robert Thomas
