about

A true story of an ageing gangster on the 2132 to Bognor Regis

lyrics

I broke a man’s hands on the train today
He wa’nt nothin’ much, wouldn’t get out my way
A media type from the BBC
Won’t be messing no more with me

I lost a big wodge on the dogs today
That’s just how it was, things weren’t going my way
Professional gambler’s what I’m meant to be
Today didn’t feel too professional to me

I’m Paul The Bag. Don’t you know who I am?
I’m Charlie’s boy, I used to be in his gang
I’m sixty six. I’m not threatening, see?
I used to have a man to kill for me

Dad was a good man despite what they say
You know who he was, he was just like the Krays
He didn’t raise a hand, didn’t need to, see?
So don’t be looking down your nose at me

I’m Paul The Bag. Don’t you know who I am?
I’m Charlie’s boy, I used to be in his gang
I’m sixty six. I’m not threatening, see?
I used to have a man to kill for me

Perhaps it’s true that my best years have run
My chance to be happy has sunk with the sun
I still have this fire inside of me now
I’m Paul The Bag

I’m Paul The Bag. Don’t you know who I am?
I’m Charlie’s boy, I used to be in his gang
I’m sixty six. I’m not threatening, see?
I used to have a man to kill for me
