The stamping ground
The stamping ground<br>
All your old gang still hang around
The stamping ground<br>
Coming in with the same blokes
All your old gang<br>
Going home with the same jokes
Still hang around<br>
If you ever go missing I know where you'll be found
Coming in with the same blokes<br>
The stamping ground
Going home with the same jokes<br>
 
If you ever go missing<br>
The big fellow on the front door knows your face
I know where you'll be found<br>
The barman pretends that he saved you a place
The stamping ground<br>
But when your back is turned they say she's older than she tells
<br>
I could stand the main attraction but not the cling-on tails
The big fella on the front door knows your face<br>
 
The barman pretends that he's saved you a place<br>
chorus
But when your back is turned<br>
 
They say she's older than she tells<br>
Everybody know everybody's trouble
I could stand the main attraction<br>
Who comes in alone, who leaves as a couple
But not the clientele<br>
They've seen you coming and they act like they're pleased to meet you
<br>
Say it's very nice to know you but I wouldn't want to be you
The stamping ground<br>
 
The stamping ground<br>
chorus
All your old gang<br>
 
Still hang around<br>
You talk like you don't have a brain in your head
Coming in with the same blokes<br>
You act like you don't have a care in your bed
Going home with the same jokes<br>
The lights are on, there's no one home it scares you to death
If you ever go missing<br>
You'd stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath
I know where you'll be found<br>
 
The stamping ground<br>
chorus
<br>
 
Everybody knows <br>
The stamping ground
Everybody's trouble<br>
Who comes in alone<br>
Who leaves as a couple<br>
When they seen you coming, babe<br>
They act like they're pleased to meet you<br>
Say "It's very nice to know you<br>
But I wouldn't want to be you"<br>
<br>
The stamping ground<br>

lyrics for
The Stamping Ground

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 fella on the front door knows your face
The barman pretends that he's 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 clientele

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

Everybody knows
Everybody's trouble
Who comes in alone
Who leaves as a couple
When they seen you coming, babe
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"

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

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 stamp on anyone who stops to take a breath

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 stamping ground
The stamping ground
The stamping ground
The stamping ground
