I sunk on the maiden voyage A patheticly tragic fate I could have been a contender Contribute something at any rate
All of those sad pretentions I really should have known not to have aspirations My towel it was already thrown
It was not police that brought me down. not time inside or underground, nobody’s hiss or back row boos The knife in my back was you
The breach in my defences let them come rushing in I could just lie defenceless and let myself be hollowed out from within
It was not police that brought me down, not time inside or underground, nobody’s hiss or back row boos The knife in my back was you
At night I see your sharp teeth grin as you drive the blade through my skin Just as I got it out an inch you’re sure to push it deeper in and give it a spin
It was not police that brought me down, not time inside or underground, nor any boss. they’ll never do The knife in my back was you
