Chorus
Well my brother he’s a latchyco
Although he is my twin
And where ever i go in
London town
I find i
just can’t win
I get the blame for his misdeeds
No matter where i roam
Oh if i could find that latchyco
I’d
send him right back home.
1
From kilburn up to hammersmith
From the bush to camden town
The barman and the governers
Seem to greet me with
a frown
From the hollaway road
To cricklewood
I’m sure to hear them say
Get out of here you latchyco
They
sent me on my way.
2
I was working down on the underground
On the new victoria line
When i went to draw my hard
Earned wage
I
still had cause to find
They said we paid you yesterday
Sure yer face wev’e always known
Oh he’l have
to go that latchyco
I’ll send him right back home:
Chorus as above:
3
I was walking down the edgware road
When who came on the scene
But a quare one and she grabbed at me
Saying
darling where have ye been
But she should have been driving
On a broom
With a hatch face like a cone
Oh he’ll
have to go that latchyco
I’ll send him right back home.
4
(spoken words)
Well i’ve been searching for a month or more
For that twin brother of mine
And what they say in the papers
today
It seems like the end of the line
There’s a picture of a dark haired boy
With a story there below
My
how that looks like me
But no ist the latchyco
(spoken words)
5
The story tells of a brave young man
Who ran in all alone
The burning mass of wrecking flames
That once
was a happy home
He gave his life but not before
He set two children free
So now i know the latchyco is a better
man than me
(sung)
Yes now i know the latchyco is a
Better man than meeeeee:
