XTC LYRICS - The Affiliated

"The Affiliated"



Pubs and clubs and opening hours

Was all he knew

One arm bandits and Affiliated members

Women taboo

Had his own tankard

And the evening Standard

And a trophy from darts

That he kept over the bar

He'd nothing to fear

He had his beer

B-E-E-R!

Then came her

Through the blur

Then came she

Made him see

He saw the light before he'd finished his pint

She saved him from the biggest crime in life

They hated her

They said you'll never see him again

Got a mortgage 'round his neck

And eight screaming kids

But his seat's always here if he wants it
