Lyrics

From Bollywood to Battersea

Well, it's a long, long way, oooh

From Bollywood to Battersea

Bollywood to Battersea

Bollywood to Battersea

La la la la

I was a child of the pound and the crown

I lost myself in the haze

Of the new life that I found

On the silver screen

She was a child of the movies and the dollar

One fine day I was led astray

She took me by the collar

Said, "You must follow me"

Well, it's a long, long way, ooh

From Bollywood to Battersea

Bollywood to Battersea

It's a long, long way, ooh

From Bollywood to Battersea

Bollywood to Battersea

Bollywood to Battersea

Yeah, I was a child of the suicide and the leisure

Oh one fine day I was led astray to a burning collar

Said, "What's your pleasure?"

I was born in the four minute warning

My old man said as he shook his head

"Ohh, fuck this, I'm off down the boozer"
