Kerosene Kathy is bringing in the mail 
Its a 50/50 choice 
Pass go or go to jail 
You can see her with her matches on the pavement in the rain 
Glowing by the light of this southbound train 

She's shouting good Christian soldiers stamp their ration book with failure 
And twinkle little Stalin's hung his hat up on my nail you're 
Gonna wish you had of fought 
When your last breath comes 
Cos we never want for nothing 'cept a little freedom 

And I've seen it all before 
And I've seen it all before 

Well they brought me to the bars when I was fourteen 
A sexy little girl and a seedy little magazine 
The painted out my life 
On a page of black and white 
Cos there's no call for justice when you're dealing in spite 

And I landed on a tightrope on the hookline of a dare 
A little ragged at the edges but not beyond repair 
With a hole in every pocket and half a bag of tricks 
But it was nothing that a tenner and a bullet couldn't fix 

And I've seen it all before 
And my money is on anger 
They say the form is good 
They say the odds are stacked 
And this side of Birmingham's a good place to be 
When they finally light the match 
And I've seen it all before 

Just wait till they see me out on the front page 
Just wait till they remember how they stroked this rage 
Shining like a penny in the back slum gutter 
Like a single note sonata in the train conductors stutter 

Make sure they get to see me when I'm hanging from the ceiling 
Get each detail of exactly how they're feeling 
Cos Five have got the rights to the docu-soap shows 
They'll buy the truth off with some donuts and a sweet red rose 
And I've seen it all before
