The Prisoner

1,2,3,4 1,2,3

The prisoner meets the muppet hi-fi

North of Watford Junction

We get in but we don't have fun

And we leave before the truncheons

So it's back to watch the day to day

Saga of workin' people

Hangin' out the washin', clippin' coupons

And generally bein' decent

Johnny Too Bad meets Johnny B Goode

In the Charing Cross road

The only thing that happened today

Says the West End jungle code

And all the Germans and all the French

Jam themselves down the tube

And re-enact the Second World War

While the rude boys get rude

And I look to my left

And I look to my right

And I'm looking for a man

I'm lookin' for a sign

I don't wanna be the prisoner

I don't wanna be the prisoner

I don't wanna be the prisoner

I don't wanna be the prisoner

The prisoner lives in Camden Town

Sellin' revolution

The prisoner loads his trackin' arm up

A'with self-disillusion

Your mother does the washin' up

Your old man digs the garden

You're only free to dodge the cops

An' bunk the train to stardom

(Climb)

(Chorus)
