Lyrics

"Good morning, Sodom and Gomorrah
Good morning, sinners
No, that wasn't your radio set on the blink again."
Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cause I'm only gone tomorrow and here today
Lotta rockheads on the block
Dougie died, and Sue got frocked
If the stove is hot, then I ain't lost
And Rosa says my star is crossed
Little Jamie writes V13 (V13)
Comes in by the door, goes out by the screen
He don't listen to me, he knows everything
Girls on the avenue ask me to sing
Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cause I'm only gone tomorrow and here today
The paper drags and folds me down
Like a paper cup, I fly around
I've been eating food that ain't been checked
And the Russian rain is beating down my neck
Screen blackout on the southern war
Cue talk breakdown on point forty-four
There must be a place the preachers say, "I guess"
But a drifter will tell you no place is best
Shout for all the people who have nothing to say
'Cause we're only gone tomorrow and here today
Was a one-off dirt jam when England came good
One night in a thousand, they played 'Knock on Wood'
We used to go roamin', go roamin' around
You don't look for something, it's sure to be found
Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cause I'm only gone tomorrow and here today
Shout for all the people who have nothing to say
'Cause we're only gone tomorrow and here today
Sodom and Gomorrah, let the DJ play
'Cause I'm only gone tomorrow and here today
Yes, I'm only gone tomorrow and here today
"Sodom and Gomorrah? This is London, guv."
