Skinheads in the doorway
Get their heads kicked in
Full of drugs and racism
Now its getting grim
A clip joint bouncer
Beats them to a pulp
And leaves them in the gutter
On their blood to gulp
Thats the news
Sohos news
Well Jimmy my slum landlord
Comes round for the rent
Well Jackie who he pimps for
Her money he has spent
Well theres junkies in the toilet
And the front doors been kicked down
Mr rent boy neighbours
Well they go up and down
Thats the news
The news
Well a man from a northern town
He goes steaming in
Someone stole his sixty pounds
So now he does him in
Well a piano bar bouncer
Goes to the persons defence
Stealing money for his fix
Well that was the offence
Thats the news
Thats the news
Thats the news
The Soho news
Up the road a clipper
Gets stabbed through the heart
She tried to rip off a psychopath
And now pays for her art
I saw her standing in the rain
On a Sunday afternoon
I looked into her eyes
And I knew that she was doomed
Thats the news
The news
The Soho news
