Singapore from Demons & Dreamers by Keeping North

There’s a Sainbury’s on the corner
He buys a pack of Marlboro Reds
In the chemist next to Ladbrokes
He steals a box of prescription meds
It won’t be long, gonna be in Singapore

She’s looking out the window
From a seat in cattle class
Through her junkie’s eyes she’s seeing
Woolloongabba in her past
It won’t be long, gonna be in Singapore
It won’t be long, she’ll be knocking at his door

He did the cooking at the Goldsmith
He thought he was doing fine
Bought his dope from Boerjongen’s
Til he started doing lines
It won’t be long, gonna be in Singapore
It won’t be long, she’ll be knocking at his door

She found his place in Acton
Near the Tesco Superstore
She shivered in the darkness
Fell asleep on the neighbour’s floor
Didn’t take long, got a bust in Singapore
It won’t be long, she’ll be dying at his door
Before too long, she was dying at his door
