"When The Sun Goes Down"

So who's that girl there?

I wonder what went wrong

So that she had to roam the streets

She don't do major credit cards

I doubt she does receipts

It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man

Just give him half a chance

I bet he'll rob you if he can

Can see it in his eyes, yeah

That he's got a driving ban

Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night

And he told Roxanne to put on her red light

They're all infected but he'll be alright

Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know

I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!

Although you're trying not to listen

Avert your eyes and staring at the ground

She makes a subtle proposition

I'm sorry love I'll have to turn you down

He must be up to something

Want half a chance to show he's more than likely

I've got a feeling in my stomach

I start to wonder what his story might be

What his story might be

They said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

Around here

And look here comes a Ford Mondeo

Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous

And he don't even have to say 'owt

She understands she's here to get picked up

And she's delighted when she sees him

Pulling in and giving her the eye

Because she must be fucking freezing

Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky

She don't stop in the winter, no and...

They said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down

Over the river going out to town

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

Around here

What a scummy man

Just give him half a chance

I bet he'll rob you if he can

Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan

I hope you're not involved at all
