Adventures In New Bohemia (Jehst) - Low Life's Main Courses, Jehst

Who’s the loveable rogue known to compose colourful prose?

I’m on the road 'til my foot prints cover the globe

I speak low with a lump in my throat, and a lung full a smoke

Bunnin' dope in my humble abode, it’s bohemia

Sepia tone memorabilia, soak up the media

Daytime TV’s gettin' kinda tedious

Trapped with the social deviants

In the confines of my immediate

Future is fruitless

I’m through duckin' tutors

Dust so thick it dates back to the Tudors

Livin' in student digs on tins of tuna

Who spent the rent down the boozer?

We sip beers and split hairs over current-affairs

Any unwelcome guests get chucked down the stairs

The place where I pedal my wares

All the fun of the fair

B-boys hold down the square, it goes

Adventures in New Bohemia

Spark it everyday!

Adventures in New Bohemia

Cos that’s the place we stay

Adventures in New Bohemia

We got to pay the rent

Adventures in New Bohemia

That’s what we represent

Adventures in New Bohemia

Adventures in New Bohemia

Adventures in New Bohemia

Call me the counterfeit Big Lebowski, part-time alchy

Scramblin' around for his house key

Knee deep in debris, sippin' on PG Tips like a chimpanzee

I’m the one-man jamboree, I won’t ram out ya jam for free

I perform for a standard fee cos I’m freezin' cold

Sleepin' with no central heatin'

I can even see mould growin' on the ceilin'

From my neighbours pipes that keep leakin'

In need of some herbal healin', I search and rummage

Eyes light up like rubies in a world of rubbish

Lookin' bummy like Worzel Gummidge, drunk and undernourished

Run ya gums and get rushed by the scrummage

The man with the dish-pan hands

Big band bustin' up ya tin pan jams

Adventures in New Bohemia

Spark it everyday!

Adventures in New Bohemia

Cos that’s the place we stay

Adventures in New Bohemia

We got to pay the rent

Adventures in New Bohemia

That’s what we represent

Its bohemia

All we do is wash up and bill up

And fill up our cups with the cheap stuff

Puffin' on punk free tree trunks

Cuttin' up breezeblocks

Bonding with b-boys who need detox

Yeah the seeds pop

I get paranoid and wonder whether the neighbours ever eavesdrop

Livin' in the flat that time forgot

Where evrybody has a vice but we tryin' to stop

Or maybe not

Jottin by the light of lamps

I’m boxed in with the moths and the rising damp

Cramped coz of all the clutter

Crumbs in the butter

Theres a better side of life im tryin' to disover

Theres another day with fine and rhyming skills

'til I bop to the shop for a pint of milk

Its time to build and pay the bills

Not to mention the rent

Right now thats what I represent yow

Adventures in New Bohemia

Spark it everyday!

Adventures in New Bohemia

Cos that’s the place we stay

Adventures in New Bohemia

We got to pay the rent

Adventures in New Bohemia

That’s what we represent

Yeah Yeah Yeah get down with us

… yeah Get down with us

… yeah Get down with us

The domesticated age yeah get down with us

All the housebound players get down with us

All the herbalist hermits get down with us

Beats to the equalizer get down with us

Bohemia the place stays covered in dust

It goes
