Dark haired dangerous school kids,
vicious suspicious 16.
Jet black laces of bus stop,
sullen, unhealthy, and mean.
Teenage gorillas on the tarmac,
fighting
the cold.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo!
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
My wife Benson on the playground,
high rise couch and all around.
High rise price on the high street.
Hard time to pull
it all down.
White boys kicking in the window.
Street girls watching when they're gone.
Never trusted a cobbler in a drive car.
Said just you side of you own.
Look out, listen,
can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Consternation in Mayfair.
Riding in Notting Hill Gate.
Fascist marching on the high street.
Riding up the welfare state.
Operator giving a hotline.
Said father can you hear me at all?
Telephone kiosk out of order.
Straight can rising on the wall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
yeah! Up against the wall.
up against the wall yeah!
The wall.
vicious suspicious 16.
Jet black laces of bus stop,
sullen, unhealthy, and mean.
Teenage gorillas on the tarmac,
fighting
the cold.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo!
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
My wife Benson on the playground,
high rise couch and all around.
High rise price on the high street.
Hard time to pull
it all down.
White boys kicking in the window.
Street girls watching when they're gone.
Never trusted a cobbler in a drive car.
Said just you side of you own.
Look out, listen,
can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Consternation in Mayfair.
Riding in Notting Hill Gate.
Fascist marching on the high street.
Riding up the welfare state.
Operator giving a hotline.
Said father can you hear me at all?
Telephone kiosk out of order.
Straight can rising on the wall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Panicked in the county hall.
Look out, listen, can you hear it?
Wahoo! Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
Up against the wall.
yeah! Up against the wall.
up against the wall yeah!
The wall.
