A Pinch Of Psalt

Bromheads Jacket

Cause there's these boys at the top of my road, yeah 
car washing is their game, amongst other things 
Cause there's a rumour thats spread about town, now 
That they can get you anything, if you know what I mean 

So I thought I'd take my chances at the carwash 
See if I could get anything more special than a wax job 
I said, "What's the damage, is that five quid, mate?" 
He said "No, sorry son, it's six quid for estates" 

I only came, I only came to get my car washed 
I wasn't planning on getting friendly with the sniffer dogs 
Well saying officer no comment, where's my phonecall 
But I'm leaving with so much more, than I had bargained for 

Cause there's a copper at the top of our road, yeah 
And nicking people is his game, amongst other things 
Cause he don't like the look of our carwashing boys, though 
Cause they don't look right - too gangsta, too many toys 
He said "I'm not trying to say these aren't law abiding citizens... 
That they don't pay their council tax or take their vitamins 
Not that there's anything wrong with washing cars for a living 
It's just there's something a little shady-shady about these boys" 

I only came, I only came to get my car washed 
I wasn't planning on getting friendly with the sniffer dogs 
Well saying officer no comment, where's my phonecall 
But I'm leaving with so much more, than what I'd bargained for 

Psalt, psalt, psalt 
A little pinch of psalt, psalt, psalt 
Just a little pinch of psalt, psalt, psalt 
Just a little bit of psalt 

I'm not making claims on police brutality 
Or saying the boys in blue have ever harmed me physically 
I'm just wondering what my mates with darker skin like to 
Wear gold jewellry, baggy jeans and tims and they 
fall into certain categories because they look suspicious 
Allowing them to be strip searched as the boys they wiggle 
To pull em over in their cars, or even worse 
All because he looks like he might just nick a purse 

(Psalt, psalt, psalt 
A little pinch of psalt, psalt, psalt) 

I only came, I only came to get my car washed 
I wasn't planning on getting friendly with the sniffer dogs 
Well saying officer no comment, where's my phonecall 
But I'm leaving with so much more, than what I'd bargained for
