Adam Ant - Hell's Eight Acres

Adam ant/marco pirroni





Happy as a punk in boystown


No more talk about doing


Going round the twist with heartbreak





You’re in need of protection


Not from me but from yourself


Going round the twist with heartbreak





Big brother won’t like it


’cos you’re one of life’s takers


Go tell the spartans


We’re on hell’s eight acres.





Walked with kings you knowself law


Pencil skirts and that gear


Going round the twist with heartbreak





Crouched and trembling with hate


Mixes both and dies both ways


Going round the twist with heartbreak





Just a little boy in a man’s world


Dying on his feet you see


Going round the twist with heartbreak





Busy fighting the inch war


Paws and claws and black velvet


Going round the twist with heartbreak
