The mini cab
The driver is black
This time of night
You better sit in the backGot a few smokes
Under your hat
The cops are lookin' out
For the petrol on the blackThis time I think
So what the hell
There's that female
I know too wellWhy should I lean
Get out my mind again
I ridin' in the back alone
The stranger rides againTo see my lovely town
That always brings you down
Where every drifter drifts
For many miles aroundWe take a casual drive
For two miles up the road
The cops pull us over
And search right through our clothesThey give him hell
They check him on the air
I sit there with the drugs in my hairAs soon as I get home
I call Heathrow
Want a standby fare to Borneo
