"Off the rails I was and
Off the rails
I was happy to stay
Get out of my way
On the rack I was
Easy meat, and a reasonably good buy
A reasonably good buy
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
So bona to vada. oh you
Your lovely eek and
Your lovely riah
We plied an ancient trade
Where we threw all lifes
Instructions away
Exchanging lies and digs (my way)
Cause in a belted coat
Oh, I secretly knew
That I hadnt a clue
(no, no. no, no, no. you cant get there that way. follow me...)
The piccadilly palare
Was just silly slang
Between me and the boys in my gang
Exchanging palare
You wouldnt understand
Good sons like you
Never do.
So why do you smile
When you think about earls court ?
But you cry when you think of all
The battles youve fought (and lost) ?
It may all end tomorrow
Or it could go on forever
In which case Im doomed
It could go on forever
In which case Im doomed"

This has GOT to be Morrissey's most infectious song by FAR! I've owned Bona Drag for over 15 years yet I just can't stop listening to it! Every fucking day when I think I'm ready to move on to another set of songs or albums in my playlist, I always stumble back to Piccadilly Palare! It's like crack or something.
