Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
You know the London street life's had its fill
Em G A
Saturation overspill
Bm A D A
I start my car, head west until
I reach a little county town
And in the tree lined suburbs, out in the sticks
Em G A
I open up my bag of tricks
There's a million more young lives to fix
Em G A
Another deal goes down
G D A Bm
You know me I'm a big city matador
G D A Bm
I make my killing down the M4 corridor
G D A Bm
Strike up the band, today is poppy day
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
Em G A G
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooooooh
[Verse 2]
See them hanging out by the old stone cross
Em G A
One more carved name - no great loss
Bm A D A
I make a good living, I give no toss
Then I'm heading back to town
So when the radio talks about another new Czar
Em G A
I laugh out loud in my brand new car
The London sky, it calls from afar
Em G A
My wheels of trade go round
G D A Bm
They stand in line as my drum beats reveille
G D A Bm
Instead of a medal, here's a spike and a tourniquet
G D A Bm
Strike up the band, today is poppy day
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
[Bridge]
G
Take this petal, take this pin
Put that blood red honey under your skin
But I want my cut, I'll shake this tin
Let's begin
[Verse 3]
So there's my best mate in Afghanistan
Em G A
Fighting with the Paras, taking on the Taliban
If anyone can sort those mothers out they can
The sons of Salisbury Plain
He says it's just like walking through Flanders fields
Now the opium farmers have doubled their yields
We bring them back on their comrade's shields
But here's a way to dull the pain
So what's your poison? You choose
Is it weed or wine, is it pills or booze?
G D A Bm
Strike up the band, today is poppy day
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
[Outro]
You know this war on drugs is such an abject failure
You're trying to kill bugs with a gun or a rapier
G D A Bm
Strike up the band, today is poppy day
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
Em G A
Coming to a town near you
Em G A
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooooooooh
