lyrics

Sob stories unfold
The end of Connaught Road
You hear the smashing of windows
In the still of the night
The men of Plasnewydd
With cars and guns to play with
Under a shady terrace
Go on undisturbed

Gonna need a bigger rug
To hide all you featherweight thugs
Peoples proud and picaresque
Make way for the picturesque
Gonna need more paper
To cover the crannies and cracks
Hide the destitute and dispossessed
Lay the old world down to rest

But oh, don't you wish you'd been there?
There brushing steam from your hair
There with the gulls bickering
On old Cardiff winds

Pen-Y-Lan slumbers
City Road rumbles
Lonely sex workers stumble
And dealers cavort
The African barbers
Home to a snake charmer
Oh, I think they'd probably harm us
If you crossed their path

Glory be to shopping centres
God give us Marks & Spencers
Breathe life back into the streets
With capitalist ventures
There came a razing tide
Pushed the people to the side
Washed away the riff raff
Forever up the river Taff
