“Warm Chambers and Cold Streets” by Vic Grout
March 2018: Dedicated to local authorities across the UK on their abandonment of the poor, weak,
hungry, homeless and disabled
Standard tuning. Loosely to the tempo/rhythm of ‘The Gamekeeper’ by Show of Hands if that helps?
[Verse 1]
I am the Dmayor of this fine Amcity
Robes of Gred and chains of Amgold
Patron Emof such worthy Gcharities
Protect us Dall from fear and Emcold
[Verse 2]
On Thursday Dmorn I chair the Amcouncil
We set the Grates to pave the Amway
In the Emstreet outside a young girl’s Gbegging
On my Dorders she’s moved aEmway
[Chorus]
Every Dday ‘cross this fine Amcity
Our good Gdeeds we shout with Dpride
You ask me Dhow I get to Emsleep at night
My bed is Cwarm and they’re outEmside
[Verse 3]
We’ve bought a Dbrand new IT sysAmtem
It doesn’t Gwork but it looks just Amgrand
The poor, the Emhomeless and disGabled
Best find aDnother helping Emhand
[Verse 4]
We tell the Dpress we’re working Amwonders
Driven Ground in chauffeured Amcars
Now there are Emspikes in all the Gdoorways
All the Dbenches we fit with Embars
[Chorus]
Every Dday ‘cross this fine Amcity
Our good Gdeeds we shout with Dpride
You ask me Dhow I get to Emsleep at night
My bed is Cwarm and they’re outEmside
[Instrumental]

[Verse 5]
On my way Dhome from the charity Amdinner
Driven Gpast a man too cold to Amfeel
My children Emask what I did to Ghelp him
Show them the Dmenu of my five-course Emmeal
[Chorus]
Every Dday ‘cross this fine Amcity
Our good Gdeeds we shout with Dpride
You ask me Dhow I get to Emsleep at night
My bed is Cwarm and they’re outEmside
