Birmingham Blues
(by The Electric Light Orchestra)

Postin on the web across this great big world
Been trolling like a stone, I never admit my home
Yes, I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

From the west midlands to the shetland isles
I drive a van for M&S for miles and miles and miles
And I've been long-gone
And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

CHORUS:
Across the web I've been
Jock and Swollocks
Buster of the Brain
But with a different name.

I wouldn't admit the things I do for anything
But I'd just like to smell the rubbish in the streets again
Give me a ticket
Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues.

Brum may be kind of homely but my pastie is sweet
I got the public dole to put me on my feet
But it's a long, long way
Boy, I've got them Birmingham Blues.
