Dynamo Dilemma.. to the tune of 50 ways by Paul Simon

The problem is all inside your head she said to me
The answer is easy if you take it logically
I'd like to help you in your struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to stay in hackney

She said it's really not my habit to intrude
Furthermore, I hope my meaning won't be lost or misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being crude
There must be fifty ways to stay in hackney

You just hang about at the back, Jack
do a few track-stands, man
You don't need to grind through night
Just lose yourself around London Fields, alright?
Or hop on the bus, with us
You don't need to spend much or make a fuss
Just drop by for some fun in the park or pub
And let yourself free..

She said it grieves me so to see you in such a fret
cos you booked onto the coach, and you’re hating a bed-wet
I said I appreciate that and would you please explain
About the fifty ways...

She said why don't we both just do some tramp beers tonight
And I believe in the morning you'll begin to see the light
And then she kissed me and I realized she probably was right
There must be fifty ways to stay in hackney

Cruising about doing skids in the street
smoke all evening, then do kebab or a burger treat
I don't need to be grinding through night
Just lose myself around Dalston sounds alright?
Then hop on the bus, leave my bike with LFGSS
You don't need to spend much or make a fuss
Besides I really ain’t got any decents lights
And my rapha jeans are just a little too tight.

Drum solo play out....

You can call me Betty ...
