I took out all the seats and away I went
itÂ's a right old banger and the chassisÂ' bent
itÂ's got a great big peace sign across the back
and most of the windos have been painted black
the windshieldÂ's cracked, itÂ's a bugger to drive
it starts making smoke over forty-five
itÂ's a phsychedelic nightmare with a million leaks
itÂ's home-sweet-home to ssome sweet arse freaks
slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger
slow down itinerant child, thereÂ's no more ‘welcome, stangerÂ'
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 BeggarÂ's Hill
when the word came donw that weÂ'd lost Old Bill
you can bet your boots iÂ'm coming when the times are hard
thatÂ's why they keep my dossier at Scotland Yard
slow down itinernat child, youÂ're still accelerating
slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting
itinernat child donÂ't do what your doing
itinerant child youÂ'd better slow down
we drove into Happy Valley seeking peace and love
with a lone helicopter hanging up above
we didnÂ't realise untill we hit the feild
there were four hundred cozzers holding riot sheilds
they terrorized our babies and they broke our heads
itÂ's a stone fucking miracle thereÂ's 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, thereÂ's no more ‘welcome, stangerÂ'
slow down itinernat child, youÂ're still accelerating
slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting
