Up The Junction - Live at Hammersmith Odeon, 9 March 1980

I never thought it would happen
 With me and a girl from Clapham
 Out on the windy common
 That night I ain't forgotten
 When she dealt out the rations
 With some or other passions
 I said, "You are a lady"
 "Perhaps," she said, "I may be"
 We moved into a basement
 With thoughts of our engagement
 We stayed in by the telly
 Although the room was smelly
 We spent our time just kissing
 The Railway Arms we're missing
 But love had got us hooked up
 And all our time it took up
 I got a job with Stanley
 He said I'd come in handy
 And started me on Monday
 So I had a bath on Sunday
 I worked eleven hours
 And bought the girl some flowers
 She said she'd seen a doctor
 And nothing now could stop her
 I worked all through the winter
 The weather brass and bitter
 I put away a tenner each week to make her better
 And when the time was ready
 We had to sell the telly
 Late evenings by the fire
 With little kicks inside her
 This morning at four-fifty
 I took her rather nifty
 Down to an incubator
 Where thirty minutes later
 She gave birth to a daughter
 Within a year a walker
 She looked just like her mother
 If there could be another
 And now she's two years older
 Her mother's with a soldier
 She left me when my drinking
 Became a proper stinging
 The devil came and took me
 From bar to street to bookie
 No more nights by the telly
 No more nights nappies smelling
 Alone here in the kitchen
 I feel there's something missing
 I'd beg for some forgiveness
 But begging's not my business
 And she won't write a letter
 Although I always tell her
 And so it's my assumption
 I'm really up the junction
