Runnin' Riot Johnny Reggae
Well you use to see him down Leicester Square
Mixed up suit and filthy hair
He played harmonica in Limbo for his tea and fare
He drank too much but I could not care
Chorus:
Johnny Reggae – He could not see (x3)
But it never stopped him smiling at me
He wore a badge from the Paradise Isle
He grinned a lot he had a toothless smile
He broke no laws he appeared on no files
And he spent his nights upon the pavement tiles
Chorus
Well they said it started with some rookie Police
When a lucky right hand knocked him down to his feet
They dragged him legless to the soundproof cells
Where no-one but the dead could hear his yells
And they gave him what they gave to the troublesome
n..ers
Well I hope some night when there’s me and thee
We’re behind those bastards in a blind alley
In the black of night their eyes won’t see
Who dealt a dose of brutality
Chorus (x2)
