Hell's Eight Acres Songtext / Lyric

Adam Ant/Marco Pirroni

Happy as a punk in boystown

No more talk about doing

Going round the twist with heartbreak

You're in need of protection

Not from me but from yourself

Going round the twist with heartbreak

Big brother won't like it

'Cos you're one of life's takers

Go tell the Spartans

We're on Hell's eight acres.

Walked with kings you know, self law

Pencil skirts and that gear

Going round the twist with heartbreak

Crouched and trembling with hate

Mixes both and dies both ways

Going round the twist with heartbreak

Just a little boy in a man's world

Dying on his feet you see

Going round the twist with heartbreak

Busy fighting the inch war

Paws and claws and black velvet

Going round the twist with heartbreak
