Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I said, who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong so that she had to roam the streets
She doesn't do major credit cards, I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate
[Verse 2]
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance, I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offenses
[Verse 3]
And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
They're all infected, but he'll be alright
'Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know?
[Verse 4]
I said, he's a scumbag, don't you know?
[Verse 5]
Although you're trying not to listen
Avert your eyes and starin' at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
I'm sorry, love, I'll have to turn you down
[Verse 6]
Oh, he must be up to something
What are the chances? Sure, it's more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
And start to wonder what his story might be, what his story might be, yeah
[Verse 7]
'Cause they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down
Well, they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here, oh
[Verse 8]
Look, here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mr. Inconspicuous?
And he doesn't even have to say owt
She's in a stance, ready to get picked up
[Verse 9]
Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pullin' in and givin' her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezin'
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
It don't stop in the winter, no
[Verse 10]
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
[Verse 11]
Well, they said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river, goin' out to town
And they said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Around here, oh
[Verse 12]
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance, I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all
