Welcome to the Tumbola of Skoda Where all you can order is a pint of cola And even though you've met everyone before Nobody knows you The chairs are made of glass and the ceiling's plastic The floor is lined with cardboard, over in the corner is a blackboard A menu with such titles as eyeball broth, strychnine trifle, Don't upset the chef, he's got a rifle Upstairs are bears in small cages, bored as hell, they've been there ages They entertain those passing by on the way to the toilets Balancing balls on their noses, making strange noises and gesturing poses There's no electricity here, we dine by candle light Fears of fire during brawls and fights One wrong move and this whole place will be alight It's made from sticks and twigs, intertwined, mud, painted blood red But all that said it makes for a grand night out, Though the food's rather naff They operate a hotel on the second floor You get to it through a big steel door The rooms are painted black, the lights illuminate grey, The little plaque on the bedside cabinet says 'we hope you enjoy your stay' The bathroom's bleak, smells of bleach, slithering out the sink waste is a fat leach Turning the sink tap to rinse it away, the tap squeals as it turns, the water comes out brown Then clear, then brown again and then clear. Where's the shower curtain gone I wonder? Maybe someone was murdered here? Through the window, a view of moor land An orange sky meets the dark, unlit, outline of a landscape Foxes howl in the night, yet all else is silent
