Childhood never silent
His father was a violent drunk
So he went back home and punched him out again
Looked for something better
Not content to sit around
15 years old, gonna burst with anger
And it wasn't long before
He met the f***** arm of the law
But they had no idea what was in store
Then Neddy got the green light
Every day was a new fight
We'll never know which parts of it were true
Such a snappy dresser
A dog round ever corner of
the neighbourhoods that he got into blues ooh ooh
and his dream to be a gangster and to lead a life of crime
would see him spending years inside
Criminal code tried to follow it
Don't let Graham near the Barbie
Coz he can't cook for s***
A treacherous life And a supportive wife
Two sides of a coin
A violent thug an old school gentleman
