Devil's Dandruff

Whyo Baby, Whyo Baby, Whyo I met my cousin at the station He arrived there walkin tall Something different about him He was as high as Nepal A mile a minute he was chattering He used to be a deep shy lad He wasn't doin any listenin When his phone rang I was glad This flashy car pulled up in front of us I knew the fella in it well We used to share a run down classroom A little boxing ring as well Initially he eyed me warily As if remembering the punch Some seconds later, eyed me squarely I felt the chill slide down my spine I axed my cousin if he knew him He said he owed him a few grand The dealer beckoned him to join him My cousin turned to shake my hand You've been runnin round town On that devil's dandruff Half of this isle wearing Powder handcuffs Cruelty and greed, heartbreak indeed I hope you kick it, godspeed I walked home reminiscing The warm safe nights we used to share I thought tonight we'd make some memories But he's not my family now, he's theirs I knew a lad who threw the towel in He graduated onto crack He got so scared, he ran to England His Mothers wages pays them back You say you can't enjoy a drink now Without your little bag of sniff You just get bored, until the bag comes Then your just chasin the next hit I never liked that devil's dandruff It keeps on taking friends away It kills and enslaves many millions Down in old south Amerikay I got the phone call, Monday evening My little cousins heart, had given in He's awful young to get heart failure But now it's always happenin You've been runnin round town On that devil's dandruff Half of this isle wearing Powder handcuffs Violence and greed, heartbreak indeed I hope you kick it, godspeed
