The Real Tuesday Weld The Life and Times of Clerkenwell Kid
Well let me tell you the story About the way I ve lived My streets are steeped in secrets My memories in myths If Clerkenwell s the cradle I m the kid Day One I defined myself Bohemian by birth Disposed with the doctor Made out with a nurse Yeah I was born a bastard And then I just got worse I m the kid Who lives In the city A kiss The chimneys and the gutters Are the place that I call home The junkies whores and nutters Call me their very own I big it up in Bloomsbury Shoot up the city road Get down in the sewers From Shoreditch to SoHo And you don t be concerned With the things they said I did I ain t got no regrets No one to forgive I ain t talking gangsters And that East Coast West Coast shit No one calls me a homeboy I m the Clerkenwell Kid Well I ve done my share of cheating and deceiving But I tell you I know no other way So please believe
