Borstal Boys/Amazing Grace Lyrics

Cell block five, how I hate bromide
With your coffee in the morning makes you so sterile
The corner gang never made a man of me boy

You know the walls are tall and the inmate's scheme
There's no one here that's more than seventeen
Bet your life there's a riot tonight in the mess-hall

A letter from your home town makes you sad
You read it when the wardens had a second laugh
He said sentimental rubbish ain't got no place in here boy

See the years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, who's a non-conformer?
Not me, no way

See the years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, who's a non-conformer?
Not me

Amazing grace, how sweet thou art
To save a wretch like me
I once was weak, but now I'm strong
Amazing grace saved me

Years roll on by
What a senseless waste of time
What a way to reform
Call out your number, who's a non-conformer?
Not me

Got to make a break for the county line
