When The Sun Goes Down Lyrics
Who's that girl there?
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate
And what a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences
And I've seen him with girls of the night
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
It’s all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!
Although you're trying not to listen
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
“Sorry love I'll have to turn you down”
He must be up to something
What are the chances sure it’s more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Around here
Look here comes a Ford Mondeo
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?
And he don't have to say 'owt
She’s in the stance ready to get picked up
Bet she's delighted when she sees him
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
It doesn't stop in the winter, no
Around here
They said it changes when the sun goes down
Over the river going out of town
What a scummy man
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all
I wonder what went wrong
So that she had to roam the streets
She dunt do major credit cards
I doubt she does receipts
It's all not quite legitimate
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes,
That he's got a driving ban
Amongst some other offences
And he told Roxanne to put on her red light
It’s all infected but he'll be alright
Cause he's a scumbag, don't you know
I said he's a scumbag, don't you know!
Overt your eyes and staring at the ground
She makes a subtle proposition
“Sorry love I'll have to turn you down”
What are the chances sure it’s more than likely
I've got a feeling in my stomach
I start to wonder what his story might be
Around here
Isn't he Mister Inconspicuous?
And he don't have to say 'owt
She’s in the stance ready to get picked up
Pulling in and giving her the eye
Because she must be fucking freezing
Scantily clad beneath the clear night sky
It doesn't stop in the winter, no
Around here
Over the river going out of town
Just give him half a chance
I bet he'll rob you if he can
Can see it in his eyes that he's got a nasty plan
I hope you're not involved at all

This song must be about a nice girl that for some yet unidentified reasons has been brought into prostitution, and a bad Ford Mondeo driving male who is not going to accept being turned down by no prostitute...
He picks her up some days later, and now you can not only see in his eyes that "he's got a driving ban amongst some other offences", but also that he has a nasty plan. The singer/story teller hopes the girl is not involved at all, but when the sun goes down he drives over the river and out of town. We can only speculate on what happens to the girl, but it is no doubt a part of the terrible occupational risks of being a street prostitute.
