This is the fifth track of the album "Rattus Norvegicus", which was released
in 1977. The Coleherne mentioned in the song was a well known gay bar in London.
Hanging Around
Big girl in the red dress,
She's just trying to impress us,
And she's got the barley fever,
But she doesn't make a sound,
She's just hanging around,
She's just hanging around.
Down the Court Road early
With the hustlers big and burly,
There's a million of them selling,
And the buyers can be found,
They're just hanging around,
They're just hanging around.
Christ, he told his mother,
Christ, he told her not to bother,
Cos he's alright in the city,
Cos he's high above the ground,
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around).
One of them comes closer,
Got a monkey on his shoulder,
And the monkey's getting grinner,
But his eyes are on the ground,
He's just hanging around,
He's just hanging around.
I'm moving in the Coleherne
With the leather all around me,
And the sweat is getting steamy,
But their eyes are on the ground,
They're just hanging around,
They're just hanging around.
Christ, he told his mother,
Christ, he told her not to bother,
Cos he's alright in the city,
Cos he's high above the ground,
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around).
Christ, he told his mother,
Christ, he told her not to bother,
Cos he's alright in the city,
Cos he's high above the ground,
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around),
He's just hanging around (hanging around).
