When we were at school I thought he had it sussed Fighting the law with the rest of us Smoking, drinking, acting cool. ('Til) they started treating him like a fool Then he stayed on his own for most of the time Dreaming dreams of a life of crime In and out of trouble, he cheated and lied But who'd have thought he'd join the other side He's in a riot squad The wanna fight squad The shoot on sight squad For law and right Down to Hendon with the boys in blue It's amazing what a few weeks can do Out in the car, out on the street South of the river on the frontline beat Cracking heads, it was all a game A finger was pointed and he got the blame Now he's back where he started, he ain't got a pound Queing with the sorts he used to kick around.
