lyrics

Fly-Tipping
The illegal dumping of liquid or solid waste
The waste is usually dumped to avoid disposal costs
Fly-tipping is not the same as littering

Deep in the night
They roam through the streets
Desperate to open their trunks
And dump all their load
So they find somewhere quiet
Where they’re not overlooked
And they know they’re alone
And they won’t be disturbed
Acting like it’s their right

Finding a spot I quickly pull up (Strength)
I open the back and fling out the stuff (Reason)
I keep going ‘til there’s nothing left (Will)
Someone else can clear up my mess (Desire)

I’m a man - I can do what I like
I’m a man - I can take what I like
I’m a man - I can act how I like
I’m a man - I can dump my load wherever I like

(Every table, every club, every pitch, every bus)
You’re right
(Everyone)
No one can tell you what to do
(Suffers your pain)
You do what you do
Just because you want to
(Every office, every screen, every schedule, every meet)
You’re free to be
As big as you want to be
(Call it out on every street)
You’d have used a skip
But they can’t come ‘til next week

Finding a spot I quickly pull up (Strength)
I open the back and fling out the stuff (Reason)
I keep going ‘til there’s nothing left (Will)
Someone else can clear up my mess (Desire)

I better zip myself back up
I think that’s the council are at the door
