stevie baker street


(With apologies to Gerry Rafferty's 'Baker Street')
Windin' your way down on Baker street
Stevie's light in his head and dead on his feet
Well another crazy day
He'll drink the night away
And forget about everything 
The tribunal makes him feel so cold
It's got 'Buckets' Stewie Lowe but it's got no soul
And it's taking them so long
To find out they were wrong
Stevie thought they'd cite Cameron Ling
He used to think that taggin' was so easy
Baker used to say to Rooey it was so easy...
But he was lyin'
Stevie's tryin', right now
4 weeks and then he'll be happy
Just give Baker 4 and he'll be happy
But he's cryin'
Stevie's dyin', right now
Down at Moorabin there's a rookie in his place
Number 10 guernsey, a footy for a face
And he asks Baker where he's been
Asks Stevie what he's seen
And they talk about 'Big Carl Ditterich'
Baker dreams about Stevie J's right hand
He gets on the booze, has a one night stand
Then he settles down, (in Lorne - a Tidy Town)
And forgets about everything
But you know he'll always keep taggin'
You know Baker's never gonna stop taggin'
Cos he's Big Carl reincarnated in pint-sized form
Stevie wakes up to a new mornin'
He's got a shiner, but it's a new morning
You're gone Baker
9 weeks cold.
