Blaze Of The Borough

(album: Wakey Wakey - 1989)

Jimmy's running short o' cash
The bar takings have took a crash
Jimmy can't think what to do
The bills in from the local brewery Oi!

Jim's a nutcase round the twist
Jimmy is an arsonist
Jimmy thinks nowt of the cost
And sets alight to his own hostelry

[Chorus:]
Flames grow high, in the blaze of the borough
Jimmy fried in the blaze of the borough
The blaze of the borough
Hey!

Windows cracked and bottles broke
The bar and lounge were full o' smoke
Things would soon look bright n' sunny
When Jim claims the insurance money back
Oi! Jimmy's a crackpot, he forgot
He was trapped inside, the clot
A ring of flames with Jimmy in the middle
He'd cocked up his insurance fiddleo

[Chorus]

Flames grow high, in the borough oh
Flames grow high
Jimmy fried, in the borough oh
Oh yes he fried

[Chorus]
