If Ort Was Back Again

Album: Runnin' Riot [2002]

He’s got his footie mates 

Some summer Speedway dates 

And then of course there’s quiznites at the Legion 

He was in the Turk’s Head 

Or so Geoff’s sister said 

And The Lion, I think last Sunday 

 

If Ort woz back again the sun would shine 

Straight down on Wednesbury’s best fish bar 

All the time 

 

I might get in touch 

I could phone him up 

And everything would be the same as ever 

I bet he’s still a Goth 

Still wears a West Brom top 

To the five-a-side on Monday’s 

Ort worked out the meaning of existence when he was seven. He’s clever like that

He saw that it’s better to play it safe an’ be a big fridge-freezer in your local pub than risk Everything and end up broke and alone, somewhere you don’t belong
