Robinson, Tom - Martin Lyrics
Just want to tell 'bout Martin
Cause nobody I know's got a brother like him
As kids we could never be parted
The neighbours all knew us as the terrible twins
At school some kids where always looks for a fight
Ol' Big Mouth Brown thought he's push us around
Being three year older than us
So I smash him in the teeth with a cloakroom stool
Got six of the best and suspended from school
But it was worth with a brother like Martin
(Martin)
It was worth it with a brother like him
We used to nick motors for a joy ride
To give my brother time to get clear
I had to punch a few policemen before I was nicked
Got borstal for taking and driving away
And beating up the boys in blue
But Martin never missed a single visiting day
Hitched from Clapham to Crewe
With all me racing mags and the little bits of news
Smuggling in ciggies and a little bit of booze
No one ever had a brother like Martin
No one ever had a brother like him
Look, people get the wrong impression with Martin
I know he didn't mix much but he's no snob
The weekend I got out of remand home
He got Uncle Ruby to find me this job
And back at my Nan's he'd repainted my room
And bought me a brand new carpet
There was all me old records and books on a shelf
And a secondhand telly from the market
You can get a bit hard when you've been inside
But I hugged the old bastard and I almost cried
'Cause no one ever had a brother like Martin
No one ever had a brother like him
('Cause no one ever had a brother like Martin
No one ever had a brother like him)

Robinson, Tom Martin Comments
Dear lord I haven't heard Black Maria in a long time, god I am old.. I wonder how many get the reference now? ON the upside atleast it isn't the more obscure green goddess.
I want to thank Tom Robinson for dedicating this sweet little song to me, ly m8
My name is Martin, too :D
Great song, but I prefer the studio version. It doesn't seem to be youtube.
+perdaniel99 It is on here...
just search 'tom robinson martin'
Studio version? The one on the Rising Free....EP was recorded live.
Bob McIntyre, absolutely right, there never was a studio recording of Martin.
Fantastic live at Hammersmith Odeon,, back in the day.
Excellent!
Great story teller!
Brilliant.
