lyrics

BALLAD OF RONNIE CONCRETE

There's goes Ronnie Concrete
Former hardest kid in our street
Dr Marten boots on his feet
Been that way since 1976

He's a fixture at the local
Where his views are loudly vocal
He's a presidential yokel
So you don't you dare to mess

He's an England fan with a fly-tippers' van
And a plastic missus with a spray-on tan
He's a gambling man - she's an also-ran
With love and hate tattooed upon their hands

Not for him the 9 to 5 life
Found himself a beneficial housewife
Raised their kids by Playstation light
Always found the will to fight

He's an England fan with a fly-tippers' van
And a plastic missus with a spray-on tan
He's a gambling man - she's an also-ran
With love and hate tattooed upon their hands

That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete

Their kids found good careers, payment arrears
A spell in detention
Performers in the Welfare State
The Circus out beyond the gate
Oh, Family Concrete

There goes old man Ronnie
Finds it funny how the young ones act
Oh, his knees are gone, put four stone on
He shuffles to and from the dog track

Ronnie

That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
That's the ballad of Ronnie Concrete
