Or, “I Was a Dole Dad’s Toy Boy”, which – for us Yanks – is a very British way of saying: “I was the son of a welfare recipient and a male prostitute”. Another stinging indictment of Thatcherism and Tory (Yanks – that’s the conservative party in the UK) oppression.
Iwasadoledadstoyboy Lyrics
There's better ways of making cash
Than waiting in parks and selling your arse
But I'm on the move and about to stay
Always old in a very young way
I'm a fool to myself when I think now
I believed in the why but didn't know how
And now I don't fit with no place to go
Only down in a comical show
All of the promises and all the dreams
Couldn't put Humpty back on his feet
All the queens horses and all the queens guards
Couldn't put money back in the yards
On the move and about to stay
Always old in a very young way
On the move and about to stay
Always old in a very young way
There's better ways of losing your pride
Than waiting in queues for a cheque at a time
But I've been taught that it's me whose the ponce
And I can only act as I've been taught to respond
But there's better ways to make ends meet
Than shuffling through life dead on your feet
But here we are and there they stay
With their very small handouts in a very big way
On the move and about to stay
Always old in a very young way
On the move and about to stay
Always old in a very young way
