about

The Story of Bad Billy.

lyrics

Docker's life and a renegade. Working class some might say.
Living in the past saying, somethings never seem to last.
Busy streets that don't care. There must be work somewhere.
The moment is complete, penny dreadful falling at my feet.

Now I see it. Picks up and reads it.

The old west has the key to a fighting man like me.
Co's I'm Billy the kid you know, I'm putting on a western show.
Londoner. Tragic gunslinger. A violent man of many means.

Where do I start in this old town. Find a gun and shoot them down.
Or maybe I should rob a train, in the good old British rain.
Start a brawl in a local pub. Spilling out onto Wapping mud.
Torn out teeth and hair. I'm beaten on the back with a wooden chair.

Now I see it. Picks up and reads it.

The old west has the key to a fighting man like me.
Co's I'm Billy the kid you know, I'm putting on a western show.
Londoner. Tragic gunslinger. A violent man of many means.

So it doesn't go to well. The Bobby's here all gave me hell.
I tried to fight them all but they're bloody big and six foot tall.
I'm holding out for her Majesty, to send me love and set me free.
Oh if I cant do the time then I really shouldn't do the crime.

Now I see it. Picks up and reads it.

The old west has the key to a fighting man like me.
Co's I'm Billy the kid you know, I'm putting on a western show.
Londoner. Tragic gunslinger. A violent man of many means.
Oh this is me.
