lyrics

The estate's in a state of disrepair
and I'm busy getting driven to despair
the ice cream van comes 'round three times a day
but he's not selling '99s with flakes
powders pills and pornography
the kids are getting hooked they're all out of their tree
parents listen to the Beatles while they're stoned
meanwhile...I'm off to find a shark I need a loan
Well it pays to tell the truth in the end
fruit machines lost me my friends
over and over again fruit machines cost me my friends
Enticed by the excitement of the arcade
I'm gambling someone else's hard earned away
mesmerised by flashing lights and spinning reels
I'm hooked you know I'd beg borrow or steal
feeding the machines with my supply of coins
I get a strange stirring feeling deep inside my loins
my head hurts a bit and I feel sick
social workers using words such as addict
Swallowed all my money petty cash and tokens
are these withdrawal symptoms? It feels like I am choking
sent to G.A. meetings they've abolished talk of jackpots
guilty of a string of muggings but so far I haven't been caught
