  1. So who's that girl there?

  2. I wonder what went wrong

  3. So that she had to roam the streets

  4. She don't do major credit cards

  5. I doubt she does receipts

  6. It's all not quite legitimate

  7. And what a scummy man

  8. Just give him half a chance

  9. I bet he'll rob you if he can

  10. Can see it in his eyes, yeah

  11. That he's got a driving ban

  12. Amongst some other offences

  13. And I've seen him with girls of the night

  14. And he told Roxanne to put on her red light

  15. They're all infected but he'll be alright

  16. 'Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know

  17. I said he's a scumbag, don't you know

  18. Although you're trying not to listen

  19. Avert your eyes and staring at the ground

  20. She makes a subtle proposition

  21. "I'm sorry love, I'll have to turn you down"

  22. And oh, he must be up to something

  23. What are the chances? Sure it's more than likely

  24. I've got a feeling in my stomach

  25. I start to wonder what his story might be

  26. What his story might be, yeah

  27. 'Cause they said it changes when the sun goes down

  28. Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down

  29. And they said it changes when the sun goes down

  30. Around here

  31. Around here

  32. Look, here comes a Ford Mondeo

  33. Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?

  34. And he don't even have to say 'owt

  35. She's in the stance ready to get picked up

  36. Bet she's delighted when she sees him

  37. Pulling in and giving her the eye

  38. Because she must be fucking freezing

  39. Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky

  40. It don't stop in the winter, no

  41. And they said it changes when the sun goes down

  42. Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down

  43. And they said it changes when the sun goes down

  44. Around here

  45. They said it changes when the sun goes down

  46. Over the river, going out of town

  47. And they said it changes when the sun goes down

  48. Around here

  49. Around here

  50. And what a scummy man

  51. Just give him half a chance

  52. I bet he'll rob you if he can

  53. Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a nasty plan

  54. I hope you're not involved at all

When the Sun Goes Down

So who's that girl there?

I wonder what went wrong

So that she had to roam the streets

She don't do major credit cards

I doubt she does receipts

It's all not quite legitimate

And what a scummy man

Just give him half a chance

I bet he'll rob you if he can

Can see it in his eyes, yeah

That he's got a driving ban

Amongst some other offences

And I've seen him with girls of the night

And he told Roxanne to put on her red light

They're all infected but he'll be alright

'Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know

I said he's a scumbag, don't you know

Although you're trying not to listen

Avert your eyes and staring at the ground

She makes a subtle proposition

"I'm sorry love, I'll have to turn you down"

And oh, he must be up to something

What are the chances? Sure it's more than likely

I've got a feeling in my stomach

I start to wonder what his story might be

What his story might be, yeah

'Cause they said it changes when the sun goes down

Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

Around here

Look, here comes a Ford Mondeo

Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?

And he don't even have to say 'owt

She's in the stance ready to get picked up

Bet she's delighted when she sees him

Pulling in and giving her the eye

Because she must be fucking freezing

Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky

It don't stop in the winter, no

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Yeah, they said it changes when the sun goes down

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

They said it changes when the sun goes down

Over the river, going out of town

And they said it changes when the sun goes down

Around here

Around here

And what a scummy man

Just give him half a chance

I bet he'll rob you if he can

Can see it in his eyes, yeah, that he's got a nasty plan
