Hugh Cornwell - The Prison's Going Down lyrics

Arthur lying down dreaming a dream

Woke up to realise life wasn't as it seems

Four walls a bed and a wonderful view

But he's feeling lonely without the rest of his crew

The prison's going down

Arthur wide awake feels misunderstood

What did he do to upset the neighbourhood?

Just being free as a bird

After all that's what they said they loved

When will it be explained to him when he gets above?

The prison's going down

Arthur's thinking 'bout the past

All of those crazy times loving very fast

What does the future hold will he get out soon?

Is there someone out there

Who'll phone him this afternoon?

The prison's going down
