Tenement Funster [BBC Session, October 1974]

My new purple shoes Been amazin' the people next door And my rock 'n roll forty fives Been enragin' the folks on the lower floor I got a way with the girls on my block Try my best to be a real individual And when we go down to smokies and rock They line up like it's some kind of ritual Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outta this place I like the good things in life But most of the best things ain't free It's the same situation just cuts like a knife When you're young and you're poor and you're crazy Young and you're crazy... Oh give me a good guitar And you can say that my hair's a disgrace Or just find me an open car I'll make the speed of light outta this place
