The streets I used to walk on Are full of broken glass And everywhere I'm lookin' There's memories of my past The filthy flat in Fulham The smell of sex and gas I never ever really knew where I was sleepin' next When the whole wide world's against you And you're standin' in the rain When all your friends have let you down And treat you with disdain When the whole wide world's against you And life's got you on the run And you think the party is over But it's only just, only just begun Oh, no Behind the bars of prison You're never gettin' out They wanna break your balls in those slimy walls And the guards are lardy louts The cameras that are watchin' you Hey, see a sullen face Get me out the door, can't keep me in no more I'm breakin' down the gates When the whole wide world's against you And you're standin' in the rain And you want someone beside you To pull you up again When the whole wide world's against you And life's got you on the run And you think the party is over But it's only just, only just begun Well, the dreary streets of London They never promised much A dead-end job to nowhere And all your dreams are crushed When the whole wide world's against you And you're standin' in the rain When all your friends have let you down And treat you with disdain And you think the party is over But it's only just begun Let's raise a glass, get up and dance 'Cause life's just hit and, hit and Hit-and-run Hit-and-run, yeah The party's over Ayy Whole wide world's against you
