Lyrics

Put Away

Ba da ba da ba da ba daaa!

Late 20th Century was late and just said yes or no

And was mistaken for sarcasm, even belligerent

Now to fight!

They're putting me away but I'll be back someday

Putting me away but I'll be back someday

Prisoner for a year and a day

Putting me away but I'll be back someday

A bust doorbell sound and the door broken down

A doorbell sound and the door broken down

They rang and rang but I never went down

And now they're putting me away but I'll be back someday

Putting me away but I'll be boo ba ba boo ba ba bow..

Verse second

(Peel session:

I thought I would follow a friend

Red banner, split end

Follow a friend or some local men

I used to drink a bottle of vodka a day)

They rang and rang but I never went down

People ring I never go down

All metal walls now I'm sent down

And they're putting me away but I'll be back someday

Putting me away but I'll be back someday

And my night sight's gone but it won't be long

I see see long now it's gone

Just two girls and a millionaire

And they're putting me away but I'll be back someday

Putting me away but I'll be boo ba ba.......

Put the heat on

Putting me away

No sex or records for a year and a day

They're putting me away

I've been bunged up, I've been banged up

I've been moved up, I've been banged up

I said ba da ba da ba da badaaaaa

MES: You make it (..)

Riley: That'll be right then
