I'm in Park Lane on a Saturday night,
Chances are I'll end up in a fight,
See you next Tuesday in the Tally Oh,
Smoked up, coked up and having a go,
The Beat come on so I don't hear what he said,
But my Singapore Sling ended up on his head,
Next thing I know my hands are in cuffs,
I'm in a riot van and I'm being locked up,
Sent to Coventry,
'Cause I've been a bad boy don't ya know,
The Police are after me,
But I swear I didn't do it 'cause I'm not guilty,
Sent to Coventry,
Where is the justice where has it gone?
They're trying to accuse me
But I swear I didn't do it, it was my mate Tom.
I'm in Broadgate at a quarter past two,
At the top of my voice I'm singing Play Up Sky Blue (SKY BLUE),
Kicking my chips from the Parson's Nose,
Thinking I'm Bennett and giving it loads,
Blue lights flashing now what have I done?
I swear officer, was only having some fun,
They empty my pockets, all I got is a fiver,
I'm being locked up 'cause I'm sat Godiva,
Sent to Coventry,
'Cause I've been a bad boy don't ya know,
The Police are after me,
But I swear I didn't do it 'cause I'm not guilty,
Sent to Coventry,
Where is the justice where has it gone?
They're trying to accuse me
But I swear I didn't do it, it was my mate Tom.
Out on bail I do the walk of shame,
It's a little bit early, don't know my name ,
Pull out my keys, get into my car,
Then I hear a siren, don't get very far,
What now officer? Is driving a crime?
He said "I've pulled you over 'cause you've passed me five times!"
"Are you alright there son? Did you forget your postcode?"
No, I just can't get of this fucking ring road!
Sent to Coventry,
'Cause I've been a bad boy don't ya know,
The Police are after me,
But I swear I didn't do it 'cause I'm not guilty,
Sent to Coventry,
Where is the justice where has it gone?
They're trying to accuse me
But I swear I didn't do it, it was my mate Tom.
City of black and the city of white,
City of flames by pale moonlight,
City of the Specials and Selecter too,
Now it's the city of Ruder Than U,
Now it's the city of Ruder Than U,
Sent to Coventry,
'Cause I've been a bad boy don't ya know,
The Police are after me,
But I swear I didn't do it 'cause I'm not guilty,
Sent to Coventry,
Where is the justice where has it gone?
They're trying to accuse me
But I swear I didn't do it, it was my mate Tom.
