The streets I used to walk on
The streets I used to walk on
Are full of broken glass
Are full of broken glass
And everywhere I'm looking
And everywhere I'm looking
There's memories of my past
There's memories of my past
The filthy flat in Fulham
The filthy flat in Fulham
The smell of sex and gas
The smell of sex and gas
I never ever really knew
I never ever really knew
Where I was sleeping next
Where I was sleeping next
When the whole wide world's against you
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
And you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
And treat you with disdain
When the whole wide world's against you
When the whole wide world's against you
And that's got you on the run
And that's got you on the run
And you think the party's over
And you think the party's over
But it's only just, only just begun
But it's just, just begun
Behind the bars of prison
Behind the bars of prison
You're never getting out
You're never getting out
They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls
They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls
And the guards are lardy louts
And the guards are lardy louds
The cameras that are watching you
The cameras that are watching you
They see a sullen face
They see a beautiful face
Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more
Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more
I'm breaking down the gates
I'm breaking down the gates
When the whole wide world's against you
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
And you're standing in the rain
And you want someone beside you
And you want someone next to you
To pull you up again
To pull you up again
When the whole wide world's against you
When the whole wide world's against you
And life's got you on the run
And life's got you on the run
And you think the party is over
And you think the party is over
But it's only just, only just begun
But it's just, just begun
When the dreary streets of London
When the three streets of London
They never promised much
They never promised much
A dead-end job to nowhere
A dead-end job to nowhere
And all your dreams are crushed
And all your dreams are crushed
When the whole wide world's against you
When the whole wide world's against you
And you're standing in the rain
And you're standing in the rain
When all your friends have let you down
When all your friends have let you down
And treat you with disdain
And treat you with disdain
And you think the party's over
And you think the party's over
But it's only just begun
But it's only just begun
Let's raise a glass, get up and dance
Let's raise a glass, get up and dance
'Cause life's just hit and, hit and, hit and run
'Cause life's just hit and, hit and, hit and run
Hit and run, yeah
Hit and run, yeah
The party's over
The party's over
World's against you
World's against you
