lyrics

Franky,looks like an American Indian
I meet him out on the street
He's got long hair and headband
And cowboy boots on his feet
He's easilly into his 80's
Still smoking filterless fags
The original Midlands Cowboy
He's still one of the lads

Dressed head to toe like a ninja
Everything he wears is blacker than black
Looks like an old Willie Nelson
With a strong bang of a young Johnny Cash
He was there when the showbands were killing it
When he starts talking pay your respects
He laughed at the 1970's
Cos he was there at the invention of sex

Franky is a real bad ass
He'd drink you under the ground
He's old but he's compus mentis
He's smart yeah, he's been around
One look at all of his badges
You know every gig that he's seen
He was there at the birth of punk rock
Black Flack in 1917
