Consequence, The Mitchell Brothers, Sway, The Streets - Harvey Nicks lyrics

You know what I mean
Cos man had flippin overalls on
The pretty bird behind the tills
Taking the piss outta man
Even giving man no help

When I drop in Harvey Nicks
To shop in Harvey Nicks
If I don't look hardly slick
Or appear hardly fit
The cashier don't hardly trip
The lady hardly flit's
Unless I'm wearing barmy shit
Or garments that are the shit

The last time we was in here
We just lined with despair
The pretty bird behind the till
Was flipping thru Marie Claire
Flicking the end of her hair, fidgeting
All nervous had us thinking "where the fuck
Is the customer service?!"
Must have been the flippin
Shabby overalls we're wearing
And the batch of Classics that were
On the verge of tearing
Cos Aunty's front room needed redecorating
So we painted it light blue to
Make it look more radiant
But today that ain't the case (na mate)
It's Lyle & Scott cardigans
That us man were draped in
The pretty bird behind the till's
Grin is so blatant and sucking man's bottom
Cos she must think we got the papers
So from this day forth, we must always recall
Never ever to come back in here in overalls
Cos pretty birds behind tills
They don't like to smile and talk
To brehs bowling down in fucking overalls


It's as if she's never seen
Our mugs in here before
Cos as soon as we was about to make a move
She released the door
Pointing her finger at her assistant to
Attend to both of our needs
Chucking an opener on the counter
Strutting towards Teddy and me
Now it's all a guided tour
Through the Lacoste new seasons
Compliments on our retirements and
Offering us greetings
Not to mention the welcome?
And the private seating
That they usually use for the service twats
With the request to them to bring the teas in
But the other day
That weren't the case nah mate
It was her on the phone to the security guard
To follow us for no damn reason
Looking down at her watch
Giving us the cold shoulder treatment
Asking us if we could hurry up cos
They were closing early that evening
So from that day forth
We have always remembered
Never ever to wear overalls, it's just absurd
Cos overall, all over, overalls don't work
Cos now that we're in line it's got
The bird flicking up her skirt

When I shop at Harvey Nicks
Everybody thinks I'm a star
Cos I wear my rented blazer
And I step out my rented car
A little girl with a pen ran up to
Me and said "I know who you are"
But when I gave her my autograph she said
"mum is this how u spell Lemar?"
When I shop at Harvey Nicks
The security give me grief
They must think I'm a thief
Cos I don't sound like The Streets
Even when I'm just trying it on
They think I'm trying it on
I said "why would I steal
From you? I'm loaded"
Then they called the police – "there's
A guy with a gun!"
Despite this, I like shopping here
Cos it's a lot quicker than eBay
I bumped into this Labour MP who was
Looking for a pair of CK
I said "Hi, I'm Sway
And I hope you're having a nice day"
Then I slapped him in his face and said
"what type of party doesn't have a DJ?"
I remember the first time I came here
I was shoplifting and got nabbed
In the shop lift I got grabbed
"Hey you! Excuse me, open your bag!"
I got put in a pair of handcuffs
All for a pair of cufflinks
I said "please, sir, don't send me to prison
If it's anything like Butlins"


Next time I'll come in, in a balaclava
See what she does then, slag, slag, slag!

That might not be a good idea, still
