lyrics

My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na
Singing My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na na
My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na
And my Dad’s a professional thief

Thatto Heath!

On certain rainy nights when you’ve nowhere to go
Just come with me and leave your mind in some safe hands I know
Harmless fun for everyone on the corner of the law
Making mischief for the codgers in the park walking the dog

It’s a place where we’re all equal, all ready for a slap
But you better not slap the bastards or their Dad will slap you back
A magic land of industry that was but now is gone
And the tourist board promotes it with just this little song

Singing…
My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na
Singing My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na na
My Mum’s a prostitute, na na na na na
And my Dad’s a professional thief

The teenagers are all pregnant sometimes even the lads
The virgin mothers scratch their heads and look out for a Dad
Our cat burglars & bad back men are heroes of renown
Selling DVDs and nine bob notes and shampoo for a pound

We’ve got rugby players, Stella suppers, some on downers, some on uppers
Cairo plaques and black bin bags, big fat cats and dirty rats
We built the world and won its wars now here’s our celebration
Of industrial decline and latent social devastation

Singing…

If I had the chance to look back at my life
I’d think of all the times I got drunk with my friends
If I said goodbye and I was never coming back
I’d think of all the cans we killed in your old flat
If I ask myself if I’d do it all again
Without a doubt I would surely say yes

After all we’re going nowhere
After all where going nowhere…

But singing…

My Dad’s a professional
My Ma’s a professional
