Thank you

We'd like to sing about takeaway food
I know that's always on everybody's mind
And this is, uh, going out to
All the people at Willesden High Road
Cooking up that weird food right now
I can smell it already, baby, it's great!
ย
Well, I was walking down the high road
ย
And this guy comes up to me
He'd just flown in from New Zealand
And he was looking for mushy peas
ย
I said, "No, but we do got"
Roti, bindi, strictly Hindi
La la la la, and I'm walking down the road
Rakso, lakka, Bombay duck curry
Shrimpy sprawl curries, we did have a laugh
ย
Wagie, bhangra, softly, harder
Exotic avocado, world classic empanada
Akki, lassi, Somali wacky paki
Jawa, bhangra, homey, novel, tikka, it's all a bummer
Welcome stranger
ย
To the humble neighbourhood
The neighbourhood
Hummus, couscous, in the cheese, the one who's
Lambie and salami and lasagne on the go
Welcome stranger, there's no danger
Welcome to the humble neighbourhood
ย
Roti, bindi, strictly Hindi
La la la la, and I'm walking down the road
Rakso, lakka, Bombay duck curry
Shrimpy sprawl curries, we did have a laugh
ย
Hey-o!
ย
Well, anyway
I told him that I was in a band
He said, "Oh yeah? Oh yeah?"
"So what's your music like?"
I said, "Well, it's kinda like"
You know, it's got a little bit of, um
Packed up with a little bit of
Gotta come down
Raga, banga, two step, a tanga
Music of a radio, music of the go
Drugs, speed, back beat, front beat, back seat
There they got the player and they reel and go
ย
Lick bomb, lip balm, rad caboodle, lily odd
Kiddie, kibby, baddo, bad, spidey in a row
ย
Third point users, third time users
There they got the people and they reel and go
ย
Welcome stranger
ย
Welcome stranger
To the humble neighbourhood
ย
We got multi, we got bindi, yeah
ย
We got hot water
We got humble neighbourhood
We got neighbourhood
Welcome stranger
ย
Uh, Mick Jones is here tonight
And more than that
Mick Jones and his lady Miranda had a baby last Sunday morning
The baby's called Stella
And this one's going out to Stella
ย
