Riot Van lyrics
Up rolled the riot van
And sparked excitement in the boys
But the policemen look annoyed
Perhaps these are ones they should avoid
We got a chase last night
From men with truncheons dressed in hats
We didn't do that much wrong
Still ran away though for the laugh
Just for the laugh.
And please just stop talking
'cause they won't find us if you do
Oh those silly boys in blue
Well they won't catch me and you
Have you been drinking son?
You don't look old enough to me
I'm sorry officer
Is there a certain age you're supposed to be?
'cause nobody told me
Up rolled the riot van
And these lads just wind the coppers up
Ask why they don't catch proper crooks
Get their address and their name's took
But they couldn't care less
Thrown in the riot van
And all the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin

Hola, me gustan los patos, que ayer conoci, comiendo cerezas, hoy te aborreci, me chupan la pija, los petes me la dan a mi! Oh cuando gasten los baits en un beit byte les va a gustar mucho saborear la grazza, lerdos, me voy a manyar unos gnoccis, ojala los limpien a todos, apocalipsis now, no los 70's, no a Fiebre de sabado por la noche, No a Grease, NO, OASIS, OASIS, OASIS, OASI'

This is because there are two versions about this song :)

There are some mistakes on the lyrics, for example:
"“I’m sorry officer is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?… nobody told me�?"
It should be:
"I'm Sorry officer is there a certain age you're supposed to be? 'cause nobody told me."

We got thrown in a riot van
And the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win
Just had to take it on the chin
Smoked a bong a last night
And stole somebody's telephone
He thinks it's all alright
But they've left him on his own, on his own
But baby stop calling
Over and over yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you, yeah
Pinched a car with one headlight
And lost control the passengers were screaming
Made him shut his eyes reet tight
And think of you, and hope that he was dreaming
Then up rolled the riot van
And called the fire brigade
But it was already too late
And there was no arrests to make
Ohhhhh!
But baby stop calling
Over and over yeah
And give me some funny cigarettes
And do what they told you, yeah

"Riot Van" cloaks its exploration of the interaction between police and local youth in observations of humorously absurd conversation like "'Have you been drinking son, you don’t look old enough to me' 'I’m sorry officer is there a certain age you’re supposed to be?… nobody told me'".
