Trouble on Oxford Street

by Skinny Lister

on Down on Deptford Broadway (2015), Trouble On Oxford Street (2015)

[Verse 1]
There was trouble on Oxford Street
I lost a little blood and a couple of teeth
There was hassle on Oxford Street
Learnt a little lesson to watch my cheek

[Verse 2]
Past Piccadilly and just past drunk
I ruffled the hair of a couple of punks
And there was panic on Oxford Street
Among the mist of the drink and the fists and the feet

[Pre-Chorus]
There was trouble on Oxford Street my sweet
There was trouble on Oxford Street

[Chorus]
It went off like Krakatoa
Like Rocky Balboa
I didn't know where I was
Please excuse the bruises
Drink got me into this
I didn't know where I was

[Verse 3]
There was tension on Oxford Street
On the last night bus to the A&E
Oh, it must have been such a pretty sight
Signing on with a blackened eye

[Pre-Chorus]
There was trouble on Oxford Street my sweet
There was trouble on Oxford Street my sweet

[Chorus]
It went off like Krakatoa
Like Rocky Balboa
I didn't know where I was
Please excuse the bruises
Drink got me into this
I didn't know where I was

[Bridge]
There was trouble on Oxford Street my sweet
Pushed my luck and it knocked me off my feet
There was trouble on Oxford Street
I lost a little blood and a couple of teeth
There was hassle on Oxford Street
Learnt a little lesson to watch my cheek

[Chorus] x2
It went off like Krakatoa
Like Rocky Balboa
I didn't know where I was
Please excuse the bruises
Drink got me into this
I didn't know where I was
