Newport (Ymerodraeth State of Mind)
Tom Williams
Yeah im up at Ridgeway
Now im down the moorings, right next to the debenhams
and i'll be port forever
yes it is my lifeblood
these streets they are a part of me
the yin to my yang
the Craig to my Bellamy
Catch me in the kitchen
i've got cheese - im melting it!
Caerphilly, bread and ham
hey presto it's a rarebit
head out to caerleon
off-white transit
febreeze on the dash for the stain where my nan sits
out for a big one, sniffin' on the miaow miaow
DJ on the ones and twos, spinnin' little bow wow
on the dancefloor raving, pack of 16 benson
someone fighting bouncers, turns out it's gavin henson!
Big up to Plaid Cymru, and the Welsh assembly
Big up to millenium, we dont need no wembly
keep your big apple, we'll have a tangerine
Bugger off alicia, shirley bassey is our queen!
round here we stick together
like birds of a feather
except we're not from chigwell
we're from the small welsh town of...
newport! concrete jumble nothing in order,
not far from the border
when you're in newport...
chips, cheese, curry makes you feel brand new
washed down with a special brew
repeat the word newport, newport, newport...
catch at me queen dragons in my fleece, watching real sport,
shit, i make the dragons' fleece more famous than the argonauts!
and now that i've made it here i can make it anywhere
signed a girl's babbles when i headlined at the local fair
yeah you know the d to the v to the LA
dad said get a job with them, but swansea's too far away
so look me up on google, i'm seven pages in
was in the local paper, mam threw it in the bin!
she didnt see the article calling me a rap star
ripped it into pieces, and used it for hamster
tom jones, steve jones, zeta jones, traffic cones!
if you come and visit use the designated parking zones
there's a snooker hall, see
but i'm not a member
and a lovely shopping centre opened in december!
so head over the water,
on the transporter
fifty for the toll booth
male voice choir singing out!
newport! twinned with guangxi province in china
there's no province finer
Josie d'arby's from newport
yes it's strange, we didn't know either
thank you wikipedia
let's say some more newports, newports, newports
one hand in the air for a taxi,
fifty quids if yer sick on the back seat
but all those bendy roads make me queasy...
can someone hold my hair?
everybody say...
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch!
in newport!
access from the A4042
traffic will enrage you
on your way to newport
our shopping centre is quite new
big leaks will inspire you
repeat to fade newport, newport, newport
