As a lad I ran wild always getting into scrapes
Hanging with the kids on the street what jolly japes
Mother made me brush my hair and wash my face
But everybody knew she was on a losing race
I'd go out scrubbed neat as a pin, come back
Looking like something that the cat's dragged in
We'd run the streets over a mile or so
Looking for the places where nobody knows us
Sneaking in the gasworks at the end of the day
Sliding down the slag heaps on an old tin tray
If a copper caught us he'd say what's up sonny Jim, you're
Looking like something that the cat's dragged in

Out on the streets from the age of 5
Maybe you wonder how I’m still alive
But the kids on the street looked after one another
A ragged tribe of sisters and brothers
There were few parked cars little traffic on the streets
There were parks and bomb sites plenty places we could meet
There were horses and carts the occasional steamroller
You could play cricket as the batter or the bowler
When we slipped home for tea, we’d be greeted with a grin
Despite Looking like something that the cat's dragged in
So whatcha doing sitting by that tidy desk
Jacked into the internet and all the rest
Huddled up in your stuffy room
The sun is shining outside why’re you hiding in the gloom
Get out climb some trees and scarpe your skin
Come home Looking like something that the cat's dragged in
