Specials – Night On The Tiles lyrics

Free me from this prison, just for a while
Let me out if only for one night on the tiles

From up on the roof I can see the girls so far away
I'm going over the wall, I need a holiday

This is a life sentence, what did you expect?
What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get

You say you'll never love me
So you can't lock me away
I promise I'll come back
Let me go for just one day

Free me from this prison, just for a while
Let me out if only for one night on the tiles

You hold the key
Please don't throw it away
I promise to come back
Let me out for just one day

This is a life sentence, what do you expect?
What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get

This is a life sentence, what do you expect?
What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get
