We were in bed, about 1am
I was asleep, but not for long
Darlin' thats gunfire, thats murder
Turn out the lights love
But darlin' thats MURDER
Its no-one we know
Lets just keep out of it
A friendly cop came to our door
Ask for our names, and did we hear the shots
We told him our story, he wasn't surprised
he said he couldn't live in Brixton
I asked him "Why not?"
He said there's gunfire, thers murder
Turn out the lights love
But darlin' thats MURDER
Its no-one we know
Lets just keep out of it
A know that you think that we're callous
Well its not exactly a crime
Crooks killing crooks at the end of our street
It happens all the time
