The Specials - Night on the Tiles lyrics

Free me from this prison, just for a while Let me out if only for one night on the tiles From up on the roof I can see the girls so far away I'm going over the wall, I need a holiday This is a life sentence, what did you expect? What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get You say you'll never love me So you can't lock me away I promise I'll come back Let me go for just one day Free me from this prison, just for a while Let me out if only for one night on the tiles You hold the key Please don't throw it away I promise to come back Let me out for just one day This is a life sentence, what do you expect? What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get This is a life sentence, what do you expect? What you want is not always quite, what you're gonna get
