Pentonville Lyrics

It's rough, it's wicked and rough
It's hard, Pentonville rough
It's tough, it's wicked and rough
It's hard, Pentonville roughNow, in Pentonville there's all type of nation
Russian, Columbian and Jamaican
Latvian, Croatian and a Polish man
Indian, Chinaman down from VietnamAnd from the Caribbean an Jamaican
Poorly paid people formed the Irish gang
And the Scottish and the EnglishmanThey're rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough nowEveryday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lameSome men jump out of their brains
'Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain

In Pentonville it's a different ball gameIt's rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough nowLying on my lumpy mattress
Lying on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Counting all the cracksAnd what's happening behind me
Look over my shoulder back
Bill Cole got my breakfast pack
He won't give it back, oohIt's rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough
Yeah, rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough nowEveryday, it's the same
People can't get better
No they can't get tamed
And black up the heads of the sick and the lameSome men jump out of their brains
'Cause they can't take the pressure
Or the shame or the pain
When they see the life, it go down the drain
In Pentonville, it's a different ball gameSo, A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come, help us sing
A wing, B wing, C wing and G Wing
Come, help us singBecause it's rough, Pentonville tough
It's hard, wicked and rough
Yeah, tough, Pentonville rough
It's hard, wicked and rough
