1. meet a lady that I know

   So if you're looking for a good time

   And you're prepared to pay the price

   Fifteen quid is all she asks for

   Everybody's got their vice       

 

2. and you might even get it free

   So any time you're down the East End 

   don't you hesitate to go

   You can take my honest word for it 

   she'll teach you more than you can know



After playing the first verse repeat from beginning of song

22, the avenue that's the place where we all go

You will find it's warm inside the red light's burning bright tonight

5. Charlotte isn't it time you stopped this mad life

   Don't you ever think about the bad times

RIFF D

   Why do you have to live this way

   Do you enjoy your lay or is it the pay

RIFF C



RIFF C

6. Sometimes when your strolling down the avenue

   The way you walk it make men think of having you

RIFF D

   When you're walking down the street

   Everybody stops and turns to stare at you

RIFF C



Chorus











I will continue some other time...











Beat her mistreat her do anything that you please

Bite her excite her make her get down on her knees

Abuse her misuse her she can take all that you've got

Caress her molest her she always does what you want



You're running away don't you know what you're doing

Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin

Charlotte you've taken your life and you've thrown it away

You believe that because what you're earning

Your life's good don't you know that you're hurting

All the people that love you don't cast them aside

All the men that are constantly drooling

It's no life for you stop all that screwing

You're packing your bags and you're _coming_ with me
