Who's The Daddy Now?
Carlin's the daddy now
It took a ball to prove it
The tool that made him king
The missus who moved here
Have you ever broke rank and file?
Have a burn and just get me out
Now Archer's got his shoes
He cuts the grass and says he likes it in here
'Cos it's the length of the chain you see
That gives a man a good deal in here
Have you ever, ever seen a rape?
He jumped a mile but got caught alone
Come on, get out of bed
They'll kick your head
'Cos no-one smiles on the murder miles
You just
Pick 'em up
Pick 'em up
Pick 'em up
Angle wants a drink
He wants to sleep but his body stinks
Another night he'll go to bed all alone
You've gotta run when it's done
You've gotta run when it's you're one
You've gotta run when it's you're scum
You've gotta run when it's you're all alone
About being alone in a crowd. Roy Minton's nightmare play, "Scum", of boys, borstals, bashing and bumming. Commissioned by the BBC, banned by the BBC before ever being screened. Made in England, bleak and brutal. Uncompromising and often outspoken.
