Took a trip down Anita Way Had to go on the 1st of May Didn't have much to celebrate Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi Doot do do Doot do do Get your kicks all around the world Give a tip to a geisha girl Fit your bit with a piece of pearl Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi Doot do do Doot do do Sold the ground to a PLC Moved the club out to Newbury Sod the fans and their families Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi Picture-house built in '23 It's a place out of history Pulled it down for your cash money Heart failed in the back of a taxi Heart failed in the back of a taxi Doot do do Doot do do
