Fad Gadget - "Bridge St Shuffle" lyrics
*** Complimentary Bridge St Shuffle Ringtone ***
I was found in a white chapel
And delivered by a midwife
Playing chess with the Elephant Man
My best friends were a sewer rat
And a city fox
In the shell of a giant clam
At the age of ten
I developed a yen for
Dismantling clocks
Wearing an open mind
I biked in whistling from the East
Wondering about my future
And the treasures I would find
But some trendy cat from Chelsea
Said I needed elocution
Looked at me in fright
I chewed my tongue all night
So meet me by the old bridge
When the sun is getting low
They call the Lemming Show
There's a new gambling game
I've got two tickets front row seats
For the river side
And watch the suicides
We can take a picnic
Well I pulled up by the kerb
And parked my bicycle
In the snow was a red faced man
Selling icicles
I asked why coals to Newcastle
He said demand and supply
I said I didn't see the point in that
Then he poked me in the eye
Then I came across a theatre queue
Waiting to get in
To see Unemployment Benefit
By a writer with a pseudonym
So I played them a tune
By the light of the moon
And then held out my hat
But all I got was a pile of bills
All Including VAT
So meet me by the old bridge
When the sun is getting low
There's a new gambling game
They call the Lemming Show
For the river side
I've got two tickets front row seats
We can take a picnic
And delivered by a midwife
Playing chess with the Elephant Man
My best friends were a sewer rat
And a city fox
In the shell of a giant clam
At the age of ten
I developed a yen for
Dismantling clocks
Wearing an open mind
I biked in whistling from the East
Wondering about my future
And the treasures I would find
But some trendy cat from Chelsea
Said I needed elocution
Looked at me in fright
I chewed my tongue all night
So meet me by the old bridge
When the sun is getting low
They call the Lemming Show
There's a new gambling game
I've got two tickets front row seats
For the river side
And watch the suicides
We can take a picnic
Well I pulled up by the kerb

There's a new gambling game
They call the Lemming Show
For the river side
I've got two tickets front row seats
We can take a picnic
And watch the suicides
So I had a dance with my shadow
His legs and arms were twenty foot long
But I don't think he was impressed
And he was badly dressed
It was then the howling squad car
Pulled up by my side
Asked me to take a ride
And two laughing policemen in one coat
They arrested me for Indocency
As I was dancing a jig
As a guinea pig
And took me in for chemistry
They dragged me into the back room
And injected a disease
But when I showed no symptoms
They offered me some cheese
So meet me by the old bridge
When the sun is getting low
There's a new gambling game
They call the Lemming Show
For the river side
I've got two tickets front row seats
We can take a picnic
And watch the suicides
The doctor said see here boy
We know you're anti-state
But give us some of those anti-bodies
And we'll secure your fate
So I made a deal all signed and sealed
And waited for my pay
While the private eye cured the town
And made a kill that day
I saw Big Doc's rise to fame
On the T. V. in the lounge
And I said to the nurse
That takes the biscuit
But she kicked me out on the street
Is there some tea that I can scrounge
And the city began to flood
With only two pints of blood
So I played my pipe to my friends the rats
So meet me by the old bridge
When the sun is getting low
There's a new gambling game
They call the Lemming Show
I've got two tickets front row seats
For the river side
We can take a picnic
And watch the suicides
So I had a dance with my shadow
His legs and arms were twenty foot long
But I don't think he was impressed
And he was badly dressed
It was then the howling squad car
Pulled up by my side
Asked me to take a ride
And two laughing policemen in one coat
