| This place is going to the dogs |
| The streets are dirty and the shops are closed |
| Stolen cars abandoned in the road |
| It’s very sad and no-one wants to know |
| This place is going to the dogs |
| I used to live 'round here when I was a kid |
| Sorry can’t tell you everything that I did |
| But we didn’t use syringes razors and knives |
| Guns were for TV not for real life |
| Doors remained open for the welcome inside |
| Houses clean and tidy, shining with pride |
| Now the home is just a prison like never before |
| Locks and chains and bars and many locks on the door… |
| This place is going to the dogs |
| The streets are dirty and the shops are closed |
| Stolen cars abandoned in the road |
| It’s very sad and no-one wants to know |
| This place is going to the dogs |
| Football and cricket out in the street |
| Saying hello to the people you meet |
| We were always up to something, but doing no harm |
| Run-outs and hiding, the Bobby on the beat |
| Knocking down ginger, away on your feet |
| I never had a gameboy or a VCR |
| This place is going to the dogs. |
