On File - Another Day In Paradise

On File - Another Day In Paradise. Ep 2000 Screwed Up Records

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE

Never done nothing you never really cared
Opinion don't count not around here
Don't wanna know about the truth
Blame it on me you've got no proof
Said my mates grassed me up no way
Innocent that's the way I'll stay

Chorus

Another day in paradise
Took my boots took my braces
Tried to take away my life
Another day in paradise celled up locked down
Made to pay the price

In you go son back of the van
Had the chance I should have ran
Stuck in a cell told to have a think
About what I'd done, nothing
Think they're lining me up for a fall
Justice can I get some or none at all

Chorus

Next day up before the judge
He knows my face he bears a grudge
Don't wanna see you again in the court
Next time I'll make sure I won't get caught
You won't see me back here for a while
I know you got my name and number
Yeah we're on file

Chorus

Lock me up, they can't lock me up (x4)
Put me in a van, put me through hell
Never done nothing never really cared
Tried to set me up justice just ain't fair

HOUSING SCHEME WARRIOR

.

What happened to your boots
Did you hang them up
Hanging round street corners
Looking for a ruck
Oxblood was your favourite
Said they made you mean
You're pulling on your braces
And rolling up the jeans
.

Chorus

.

Hanging round the streets
Pissed out of your head
You're a housing scheme warrior
Skinhead

.

Always looking at your best
Cream of the crops
Trouble in the town
Or hanging round the shops
Never had no problemsA cut above the rest
People still looked and laughed
About the way you dressed
.

Chorus

.

Thieving from the local shops
A hooligan at heart
Seeing sense it's got to stop
How did it startThe image was a problem
You wanted to look good
You've grown up, stopped the fights
Still lacing up the boots
.

Chorus(x2)

JUNKIES

.

Junkies out on the street
Begging for their next fix
From the likes of you and me
Scroungers never work never will
Spend their giro in a day
On smack and speed and pills
Can't get it together, giving up again
Your god is your dealer
Your part of the chain
.

Chorus

.

Don't want you hanging round here
Screwing houses, buying gear
Sell it off down the pub
A lifetimes work for a couple of pound
Don't want you hanging round here
.

Victims at least they claim to be
Misspent youth, do we care
What's it like
When you can't get a fix cos cash is tight
Gone cold turkey, getting scared
You can't remember when you were straight
You worship the needleYour only escape

.

Chorus
.

Losers what a waste of space
Menacing the public, always out their face
On the case like their deserving charities
No morals, no conscience
Just a bad habit to feed
Should get it together
Before you meet your end
Goodbye to your family
Farewell to your friends

.

Chorus(x2)

TRADITION NOT TREND

.

A bloke came up to me
Out in the street the other day
The skinhead times are over mate
Your out of dateI still believe
.

Chorus

.

Tradition not trend, the only way to be
Tradition not trend, 2 fingers to society
Tradition not trend, TNT
Tradition not trend, back to the 80's

.

A bird came up to me
When I was boozing down the pub
Why do you look the way you do
Are you a thugShe just can't see
.

Chorus
.

Tradition not trend, the only way to be

Tradition not trend, 2 fingers to society

Tradition not trend, TNT

Tradition not trend, back to the 80's

.

A bloke came up to me
Out in the street the other day
The skinhead times are over mate
Your out of date
I still believe
.

Chorus

.

Tradition not trend, the only way to be
Tradition not trend, 2 fingers to society
Tradition not trend, TNT
Tradition not trend, back to the 80's
