Verse 2
C
Eh hello. My names Tim and I'm a criminal,
In the eyes of society I need
to be in jail
For the choice of herbs I inhale.
This ain't no wholesale operation
Just a few eighths and some
Playstations my's vocation
I pose a threat to the nation
And down the station the police
hold no patients
Let's talk space and time
I like to get deep sometimes
and think about Einstein
And Carl Young And old Kung
Fu movies I like to see
Pass the hydrator please
Yeah I'm floating on thin air.
Going to Amsterdam in the New
Year - top gear there
'Cause I taker pride in my hobby
Home made bongs using my
engineering degree
Dear Leaders, please legalize
weed for these reasons.

Bada Bada Bing for the lad's night.

Mad fight, his face's a sad sight.

Verse 4
C
see why
I should be the criminal
How can something with
no recorded fatalities be illegal
And how many deaths are there
per year from alcohol
I just completed Gran Tourismo on
the hardest setting
We pose no threat on my settee
Ooh the pizza's here will someone
let him in please
"We didn't order chicken,
Not a problem we'll pick it out
I doubt they meant to mess us about
After all we're all adults not louts."
As I was saying,
we're friendly peaceful people
We're not the ones out there
causing trouble.
We just sit in this hazy bubble
with our quarters
Discussing how beautiful Gail Porter is.
MTV, BBC Two, Channel Four is on
until six in the morning.
Then at six in the morning the sun
dawns and it's my bedtime.
Verse 5
Bm
D
Causing trouble, your stinking rabble
E
Boys saying I'm the lad who's spoiling it
Bm
D
E
You're on drugs it really bugs me
when people try and tell me I'm a thug
Bm
D
Just for getting drunk
E
I like getting drunk
Bm
'Cause I'm an upstanding citizen
D
If a war came along I'd be
E
on the front line with 'em.
D
Now Terry
Verse 6
C
you're repeating
yourself
But that's okay drunk people
can't help that.
A chemical reaction inside your brain causes
you to forget what you're saying.
Verse 7
Bm
D
What. I know exactly what
I'm saying
E
I'm perfectly sane
Bm
D
You stinking student lameo
E
Go get a job and stop
F
robbing us of our taxes.
Verse 8
C
Err, well actually according
to research
Government funding for further education
pales in insignificance
When compared to how much
C
they spend on re pairing
Leery drunk people at the weekend
In casualty wards all over the land.
Verse 9
Bm
Why you cheeky little swine
D
come here
E
I'm gonna batter you. Come here.
