Tom Robinson - 16 Prison (1985 single version)

Tom Robinson - Prison (1985 single version) From album War Baby: Hope & Glory (1996 reissue) Chained to the table, stuck in a rut Drinking tea with sugar in a plastic cup I know every brick in the wall outside Never been so bored in all of my life Been sitting in prison D-d-down in a dungeon I listen to the rattle of the railway track Wanna leave this place and never come back I’m sat here looking at the fire escape And I just can’t wait till visiting day (on a Friday night) I’m Sitting in prison D-d-down in a dungeon Sitting in prison D-d-down in a dungeon Pigeon on the window (doing my time) Little old lady in the park outside Watching the clock (doing my time) Every hour of the day and night I know this prison like the back of my hand How can I make you understand There’s bars on the window, neon light Electric fencing, dogs outside I’m sat here watching you talk to me (so long) Through a plate glass window you can’t see (it’s been so long) I wanna come out and make love to you (so long) But I’ve got another ten years to do (ten long years) Just sitting in prison Down in a dungeon I’m sitting in prison Down in a dungeon Just sitting in prison... I’ve gotta get out, gotta get out Gotta get out of here I’ve gotta get out, gotta get out Gotta get out Sitting in a prison Written by TR, produced & engineered by David Motion at Ramport Studios, London.
