Schoolkids get in for free

Gasworks-smell of rotten eggs
Rubber works poured out the dregs
Now it smells of Dettol and pee

Better than Brookside or The Street
It's lucky numbers, one, two three
Lotteryland's the place to be

Instr. verse.*

We don't care who runs the shop
Left wing, right wing, curse the lot
A augmentedA million quid talks sense to me
Lotteryland's the place to be

Now gone is dirt and gone is strife
And gone is struggle and gone is life
"Shove it, mate, I'm busy see"
Lotteryland's the place to be

Now we triple lock the doors
Streets are full of thieves and whores
In a padded cell eternity
 Lotteryland's the place to be
Lotteryland’s the place to be - Lotteryland’s the place to be…E/Hm7-9 E minorEm
