I said: Who's that girl there? I wonder what went wrong So that she had to roam the streets She don't do major credit cards I doubt she does receipts It's all not quite legitimate And what a scummy man Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can Can see it in his eyes, yeah That he's got a driving ban Amongst some other offences And I've seen him with girls of the night And he told Roxanne to put on her red light They're all infected but he'll be alright 'Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know? I said he's a scumbag, don't you know? Although you're trying not to listen Avert your eyes and staring at the ground She makes a subtle proposition I'm sorry, love, I'll have to turn you down And oh, he must be up to summat What are the chances? Sure it's more than likely I've got a feeling in my stomach I start to wonder what his story might be What his story might be, yeah They said it changes when the sun goes down Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down And they said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Around here And look, here comes a Ford Mondeo Isn't he Mr. Inconspicuous? And he don't even have to say owt She's in the stance ready to get picked up Bet she's delighted when she sees him Pulling in and giving her the eye Because she must be fucking freezing Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky It doesn't stop in the winter, no And they said it changes when the sun goes down Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down And they said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Well, they said it changes when the sun goes down Over the river going out of town They said it changes when the sun goes down Around here Around here And what a scummy man Just give him half a chance I bet he'll rob you if he can Can see it in his eyes, yeah That he's got a nasty plan I hope you're not involved at all
