Lyrics
Why build a scheme in the new town?
so confused got the Jamaica Mews Blews
Why are all the garden gates locked?
they don't want no schemie in their park
Why do they need such massive cars?
so f*** in posh with all your dosh
why are all the streets named after scum
war criminals like butcher cumberland
they must think we schemies
dont know our history
why are the streets named after scum
It t never been taught in any school
banned like highland culture
the languge and the pipes
The Highland dress
totally suppressed
The named a street 'Cumberland'
Why build a scheme in the new town?
so confused got the Jamaica Mews Blews
