The stamping ground The stamping ground All your old gang still hang around Coming in with the same blokes Going home with the same jokes If you ever go missing I know where you'll be found The stamping ground

The big fellow on the front door knows your face The barman pretends that he saved you a place But when your back is turned they say she's older than she tells I could stand the main attraction but not the cling-on tails

chorus

Everybody know everybody's trouble Who comes in alone, who leaves as a couple They've seen you coming and they act like they're pleased to meet you Say it's very nice to know you but I wouldn't want to be you

chorus

You talk like you don't have a brain in your head You act like you don't have a care in your bed The lights are on, there's no one home it scares you to death You'd stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath

chorus

The stamping ground
