Madness
"Bingo"

(Thompson/Barson)

(This train is destined for all stations to High Barnet. Thank you.)

(Mind the gap)

(Like a moth to the flame)

Oh drawn by a multitude
Of different factors
What make this town my home

And God save the pisshead
And thespian actor
Relieved of everything they own

But look at me now
I'm curled up like a fat cat
Kicked into hell and back

So I throw in the towel
To a bouquet of laughter
I'm rolling along the ground

Oh this town
Cartwheels, tripping
Out of control again
Oh this town
Balancing, falling
Off into no-man's land

And Old Mother Redcap
She pours out her heart
But of all the tales she tells

The Kentiston Cobbler
Winks over my shoulder and bids
Me a fond farewell

But be forewarned!
In Camden Town!
Over and over and out!

Oh this town
Cartwheels, tripping
Out of control again
Oh this town
I'm balancing, I'm falling
Off into no-man's land

Oh this clown
Who expects, yeah, nothing from a-nothing so
Just leave me to drown
In the tears of a very happy old man

Whoa this town
Cartwheels, tripping
Out of control again
Oh this town
I'm balancing, I'm falling
Off into no-man's land

Oh this old clown
Who expects, yeah, nothing from a-nothing so
Just leave me to drown
In the tears of ....... BINGO!!!!

(Bingo)

(This train is for all stations to High Barnet. Thank you.)
