Humble Pie - Beckton Dumps Lyrics
Oh yeah
I can't seem to open my eyes
But I must get out of this bed
'Cause the phone keeps ringing downstairs
And I know that this ain't no place for a sleepy head.
I go down to my chest, oh yeah!
Put on my old string vest
Swing it on, babe.
Well I feel like I'm in need so I go back up for a smoke
And then I slip back in my easy chair then I give my lucky dog a stroke
Well he just gives me a wink and I know what that mean now
Well it mean that I need to put on his lead
If I don't want a mess on my cheap pan.
To grab the fuzz if they bust in
Get him, boy, oh yeah.
Well what does it take to make a jelly roll?
Who can you sell?
When I wake up to a grey day
How do I slip away so easily?
Oh!
Baby!
Baby!
Well I feel too old to get a hair cut
And I ain't had a shave in months
Now when I don't go out, I keep my door shut
And I get on back to good old Beckton Dumps.
Drowning, now warn you
I'll be right back.
I won't go there.

Humble Pie Beckton Dumps Comments
thank you
I go down to my chest. Peacr Jc.
My first real experience listening to music In other dimensions...
Space and time...
Was living in the Bay Area with my dad.. we had a great time.. going to record stores and digging through albums. Humble pie was a favorite.. still today they have my heart.. along back roads and bluesy rivers.... Rip Richard my father and friend.....❤️🥀🎶✌️🌈
Crunchy, chordy. The Pie could really come up with some good cuts, great guitar.
One of the nicest songs in rock history. No doubt at all.
The Pie were the business.
Humble Pie the first and still the best rock n roll band I ever saw live. East Ham Granada 1974.
+Saint George I was there too, my cousin climbed through a back window after the gig and we met the band. Marriott was so easy going. 15 year old me just hung back. :-/
+Mickey P.Nice one, Steve always seemed down to earth and an unaffected bloke. I feel a sort of connection to Steve Marriott and Ronnie Lane as I lived and worked in Forest Gate, East Ham and Manor Park in my early years. Ronnie Lane was a local lad and he met Steve Marriott in a music shop down East Ham High Street. I also saw Hawkwind at the Granada. I ran down the front for the encore to get a better look at Stacia. Sadly no encore was forthcoming. Never forgave them.
Humble Pie's Marshall Amp with Reverb and Echo sound is sorely missed .
Beckton Dumps was my backyard, born and bred with tales of a wonderful childhood centred there. Steve's lyrics don't address it at all but who cares. great song, great singer and a great band. The critics only championed Humble Pie with Peter Frampton. Marriott had visions that went beyond a guitar hero's canvas and his vocal abilities and characteristic 'Mr Entertainment' personality were as intrinsic to the band as any guitar work. The Pie was a sum of many parts and as tomshea69 and SenorSpode have mentioned, the band that rocked America as well as Europe, has not received its due respect in the annals of R&R history.
+Mickey P. With you man saw them several times and always one of the most memorable shows from my youth.
With and with out Peter who was by the way an incredible talent also!
@SenorSpode Critics? They only like REM, Bruce Springsteen and other faggot ass music. If the critics hate you, your doing something right in my book.
I grew up on a frebab estate next to Beckton Dumps in the 60s but had no idea there was a song named after them :)
I lived in a prefab in Beckton Road when I was child before going to primary school.
@RockerBobK9 too right ... I LOVE this song, and agree 100% with your comment
@SenorSpode please friend me-if you are a female I love you-if you are male, we must be brothers-
playful Ogdan's stuff, a super talent whatever he smoked or drank, Ronnie too
has this been ripped off ?
word up seek
Sod the critics - the Pie always does it for me. Marriot's vocals, guitar are fab and as a harp player his playing sends me away man
"a fave over here"!! When you want to smile and feel good when your down, just roll this one...
Happy Thanksgiving bro :-))
wish steve could have saved his voice and done studio stuff the rest of his life
Yeh Thanks mate i bought the album some time ago now, thanks anyway.
Its on Thunderbox mate.
'thunderbox'
it's great to hear this one again !!...
I admired this band for a long time,
playing this lp, then cassette, then cd
on and on an on...thanks for posting !
Does anybody know from which album the track "drift away" is from
Some of the studio cuts on "Eat It" were kinda weak and I'm a huge Pie fan. I just got the "Marriott" CD and I'm diggin' "East Side Struttin'".
I luv the typical Marriott vocal style during the bridge!
great~is shut up on there?
Yes, Shut Up is on the Eat It album.
excelent~ is shutup on there?
