lirik lagu for you and me – the folkstones
[verse 1]
in wormwood scrubs they have built a nick
the walls are tall, they are strong and thick
and if you belong to society
they have built that prison for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[verse 2]
all in the mornin’, the warder shouts
“stand to your door, there, come on, slop out!”
and those grey lines of humanity
are in that prison for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[verse 3]
they take him back to his flowery dell
a pretty name for a prison cell
then prison brick, [?] bread and tea
they economise, friend, for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[verse 4]
for half an hour ‘neath the big screw’s eyes
the lags walk ’round on their exercise
except the lags down in solitary
who have been locked up, friend, for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[verse 5]
it’s stitchin’ boots, friend, or nail bag seams[?]
they could all be done by a few machines
but they must waste time, friend, and dignity
to destroy ambition for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[verse 6]
’til monday mornin’ from friday night
they are all locked up, friend, secure and tight
except for church, they have the weekend free
to pace their cells, friend, for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
[chorus]
for you and me, friend, for you and me
they have built that prison for you and me
for each lag and screw, friend, we pay the fee
they have built that prison for you and me
