Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
The landlord say your lease is up
the council says you are corrupt
either way you got to go
to make way for a new Tesco
They sanitize and clean
Unpick it at the seam
unravel and destroy
decades of what has been
wave good-bye
to the whole damn scene
bye bye bye my gin-soaked dream
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
People gathered 'round to watch
as their small empire sinks
Now empty rooms resound
with the memories
of a million drinks
Then the brightest stars
in the blackest night
burn themselves out
So the subjects all take flight
It's over there can be no doubt
I know Soho is a parody of itself
I know a few frequenters
sit on the shelf
Regaling first-time histories
they did not even live
In every group there's those
that have nothing left to give
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Where do I go for a family
Of outspoken praise and
dandies and queens
Bearded witty bitter men
And acutely self-aware has-beens
Sharp blonde women that will throw
your responses back in your face
Even the coy girls will put you
back in your place
And a select few will defy
our fashions and show you style
The wisest words will arise
from an old rogue's wry smile
This is a place where no one
cares about what you do
No one will ask just
carry the conversation through
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Oh no
what's happened to Soho
Oh no
where will all the reprobates go
Where do I go go
Where do I go go
Where do I go go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
Where do I go
