"Wide boy" Lyrics

baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye
he's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

he'd sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did
he's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

he used to be his father's pride, 'til he spent a year inside
he's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

six feet from shoulder to shoulder
and five feet from the ground
iron fists, a head like a boulder
a friend like that is good to have around

at the club he's set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce
he's one of the boys, he's a wide boy
oy

six feet from shoulder to shoulder
and five feet from the ground
iron fists, a head like a boulder
a friend like that is good to have around

(wide boy) wanna buy a stereo
(wide boy) heard you got a truckload
(wide boy) need a color tv too

(wide boy) I'm in a spot of trouble
I need assistance at the double
(wide boy) it's good to have a friend like you

never rich and never poor (never poor)
just a step outside the law (outside the law)
he's one of the boys, he's a wide boy (3x)
