White Heat

Down between the sunbeams

The money lenders chat

Hiding in the shade

Outside a council flat

Kids in the lift

Looking for things to throw

And practising their aim

On the heads below

Make their apologies

With the quickness of their feet

Then lost in the heat haze

That shimmers across the street

Underfoot

The pavement is melting

Crumbling

For the luckiest girl

The whole world is melting

But I'm still not in

Till a week next Wednesday

I'm holidaying on the roof

Till the big bad wolf goes away

In the street

The pavement is melting

Crumbling

For the luckiest girl

The whole world is melting

White heat

Turns the street

Upside down

Down between the sunbeams

The debt collectors chat

Hiding in the shade

Outside a council flat

By the hairs on my

Chinny chin chin

I shall not let you in

N the street

The pavement is melting

Crumbling

For the luckiest girl

The whole world is melting

For the luckiest girl

White white heat
