Lyrics: Arseholes, bastards, fucking cunts and pricks
aerosol, the bricks
a lawless brat from a council flat - oh, oh
a little bit of this and a little bit of that - oh, oh
dirty tricks
from the mile end road
to the match-stick beacontree
pulling strokes and taking liberties
she liked it best when she went up west - oh, oh
you can go to hell with your 'well, well, well' - oh, oh
who said good things always come in threes?
reds and yellows, purples, blues and greens
she turned the corner before she turned fifteen
she got into a mess on the nhs - oh, oh
it runs down your arms and settles in your palms - oh, oh
keep your eyeballs white and keep your needle clean
plaistow patricia, plaistow patricia
plaistow patricia, plaistow patricia
her tits had dropped, her arse was getting spread
she lost some teeth, she nearly lost the thread
she did some smack with a chinese chap - oh, oh, oh
an affair began with charlie chan - oh, oh
well, that was just before she really lost her head
now she owns a showroom down the mile end road
and her outer garments are the latest mode
there's a siamese cat in the council flat - oh, oh
the finest grains for my lady's veins - oh, oh
and when it gets out of order, she goes away for a bit
plaistow patricia, plaistow patricia
plaistow patricia, plaistow patricia
plaistow patricia, plaistow patricia
ohh, go on, girl
I met him in 1986 at the Marquee in Wardour street, precisely in the toilet. He was talking and laughing with a guy. I wanted to talk to him, but I was too shy...I remeber his leather jackets with studs and pins...

Loved this song since I was younger and forgot about it until I pulled out the vinyl and gave a listen my kids really dug it since it mentions our last name (lawless) they got a kick out of that. Thanks for posting this gem and R.I.P. Ian

@hooterstooge No problem, is is, agreeably fantastic. It's almost upsetting to see what is classed as 'good music' nowadays.
