Are you sure you want to live like gammon people?
You want to see whatever gammon people see
You want to sleep with gammon people
You want to sleep with gammon people like me pic.twitter.com/LPLzynDcDx— Matthew Hankins #FBPE (@mc_hankins) May 15, 2018

Buy a flat on the Costa del Sol
Don’t learn to speak in Español
Smoke some fags and drink some beer
Pretend you always lived round here pic.twitter.com/BVJAn52qlK— Matthew Hankins #FBPE (@mc_hankins) May 16, 2018

But still you’ll never get it right
Cause when you’re laid in bed at night
Watching your pension value fall
If he cancelled A50 he could stop it all pic.twitter.com/WXF7NTyMOz— Matthew Hankins #FBPE (@mc_hankins) May 16, 2018

You’ll never live like gammon people
You’ll never do whatever gammon people do
You’ll never fail like gammon people
You’ll never watch your life slide out of view
And drink and blame the EU
Because there’s nothing else to do pic.twitter.com/U5VaFWBMfY— Matthew Hankins #FBPE (@mc_hankins) May 16, 2018

String along the gammon people
String them along it might just get you through
Laugh along with the gammon people
Laugh along even though they’re laughing at you
And the stupid things that you do
Because you think that poor is cool pic.twitter.com/cg69aJKt2f— Matthew Hankins #FBPE (@mc_hankins) May 16, 2018
