Blaze of the borough


Jimmy's running short o' cash, the bar takings have took a crash
Jimmy can't think what to do, the bills in from the local breweryyyy Oi!

Jim's a nutcase round the twist, Jimmy is an arsenist
Jimmy thinks nowt of the cost & sets alight to his own hosterlryyyyy

[Chorus:]
FLAMES GROW HIGH, IN THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH
JIMMY FRIED. IN THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH
THE BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH
HEY!

Windows cracked & bottles broke, the bar & lounge were full o' smoke
Things would soon look bright n' sunny when Jim claims the insurance money back
Oi! Jimmy's a crackpot, he forgot, he was trapped inside, the clot
A ring of flames with Jimmy in the middle, he'd cocked up his insurance fiddleoo

[Chorus]...
[Guitar Bit]

FLAMES GROW HIGH. flames grow high, IN THE BOROUGH OHHHHH
JIMMY FRIED. Oh yes he fried, IN THE BOROUGH OHHHHH

[Chorus]

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics BLAZE OF THE BOROUGH of TOY DOLLS is also present in the album Wakey wakey! (1989)

Among their most famous songs are "Nellie the Red"; "Dig That Groove"; "The Ballad of Captain Hook" and "I Wanna Be a Toy Boy". The Toy Dolls have collaborated with artists like The Angelic Upstarts and have released numerous albums, including "Dig That Groove" (1982) and "The Greatest Hits" (1985).
