Scruffy Bugger

Lyrics

Streets of London, grime-covered spleen
Money in me pocket but it ain't clean, mean
Sneakers worn thin, tryna stay keen
Cup o' tea, biscuits, and a tabloid scene, fiend

British swagger, no posh chatter, hit y' hard
Livin' in a flat with a broken yard, marred
Hoodie up, slouched back like a Cockney bard
Livin' dodgy deals, life's a bit of a shard

Oi, I'm a scruffy bugger
Life's a butcher, trim the fat, then we smother
Dodgin' through the alleyways, smoggy cover
Laughin' at me troubles, ain't another like me bruvva

Fish and chips wrapped in the evening news
Barely make a fiver, sniff out the clues, chews
Dodgin' the coppers, blues' clues playin' muse
Wear grime like a badge, ain't got nuthin' to lose

Teeth yellow, torch illuminate the narrow
Livin' fast, broken strings on me sorrow
Dodgin' spies, tomorrow shadows que sera
Flat cap low, whiskey glow, heart still hollow

Oi, I'm a scruffy bugger
Life's a butcher, trim the fat, then we smother
Dodgin' through the alleyways, smoggy cover
Laughin' at me troubles, ain't another like me bruvva

Teeth yellow, torch illuminate the narrow
Livin' fast, broken strings on me sorrow
Dodgin' spies, tomorrow shadows que sera
Flat cap low, whiskey glow, heart still hollow

Oi, oi, I'm a scruffy bugger
Life's a butcher, trim the fat, then we smother
Dodgin' through the alleyways, smoggy cover
Laughin' at me troubles, ain't another like me bruvva
