I took out all the seats and away I went

its a right old banger and the chassis bent

its got a great big peace sign across the back

and most of the windos have been painted black



the windshields cracked, its a bugger to drive

it starts making smoke over forty-five

its a phsychedelic nightmare with a million leaks

its home-sweet-home to ssome sweet arse freaks



slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger

slow down itinerant child, theres no more welcome, stanger



soon I was rumbling through the mornign fog

with my long haired children and my one eyed dog

with the trucks and the buses and the trailer-vans

my long throw horns playing Steely Dan



we straggled out for miles along the Beggars Hill

when the word came donw that wed lost Old Bill

you can bet your boots im coming when the times are hard

thats why they keep my dossier at Scotland Yard



slow down itinernat child, youre still accelerating

slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting

itinernat child dont do what your doing

itinerant child youd better slow down



we drove into Happy Valley seeking peace and love

with a lone helicopter hanging up above

we didnt realise untill we hit the feild

there were four hundred cozzers holding riot sheilds



they terrorized our babies and they broke our heads

its a stone fucking miracle theres no-one dead

they turned my ramshackle home into a burning wreck

my one-eyed dog got a broken neck



slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger

slow down itinerant child, theres no more welcome, stanger

slow down itinernat child, youre still accelerating

slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting
