Well, it's a long, long way, oooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
La la la la

I was a child of the pound and the crown
I lost myself in the haze
Of the new life that I found
On the silver screen

She was a child of the movies and the dollar
One fine day I was led astray
She took me by the collar
Said, "You must follow me"

Well, it's a long, long way, ooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea

It's a long, long way, ooh
From Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea
Bollywood to Battersea

Yeah, I was a child of the suicide and the leisure
Oh one fine day I was led astray to a burning collar
Said, "What's your pleasure?"

I was born in the four minute warning
My old man said as he shook his head
"Ohh, fuck this, I'm off down the boozer"
