  • Give me all your paper ma
    Gimme all your jazz
    Give me something that I need
    Something I can have
    Mrs. London's coming round
    She's coming with her son
    Gimme all your paper ah
    So I can get a gun
    She has got it in for me
    Yeah I mean it honestly
    She's so mean
    Give me all your paper ma
    So I can buy a train
    They just want to suck you in
    To being one of them
    Tell her that I'm not in here
    Tell her I'm a freak
    Tell her that I fall about
    Every time I speak
    She has got in for me
    Yeah I mean it honestly
    I just scream
    Give me all your paper ma
    So I can buy a train
    I don't know how I got in here
    It's making me insane
    Have another cigarette
    And have another cigarette
    In a room where lovers go
    Talking on the telephone
    They have go it in for me
    Yeah I mean it honestly
    They all dream Writer/s: DUNCAN KILBURN, JOHN ASHTON, RICHARD BUTLER, ROGER NICHOLAS MORRIS, TIMOTHY BUTLER, VINCENT DAVEY
