Dead Dog in an Alleyway

Dead dog in an alleyway, dusted with snow

On a bed of burst bin bags

Underneath the big fans behind the Premiere Inn

And for your eyes only

No fit place to spend the night

Maybe I can go in the pedestrian tunnel?

Stag-do's and football pricks

They give me the most shit

Disgusting animal

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

Over there in the labyrinth of neon

You can hear the voices lift through the icy air

Hooting and projectile vomiting

And the distant sound of sirens

Dead dog in an alleyway, dreaming of home

In the moment just before I awake

To a savage kicking, blows rain down upon me through the

Blackness of my sleeping bag

Help me, help me, please, help me

Won't you please help me? Anyone?

The city melts away

Into a crisp new day

I am still here

Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah

Drifting out of the glowing Nando's

You can hear the families' chatter with each swing of the door

Music, tinkling cutlery

And the laughter of the little ones

Over there in the labyrinth of neon

You can hear the voices lift through the icy air

Hooting and projectile vomiting

And the distant sound of sirens
