Bounce Right Back

Howard Jones


I was walking down the street 
With my old friend Luke 
And the strangest thing we saw 
There was a flash like dynamite 
And we fell down to the floor 
And as we looked up this weird dude stood 
I guess he was standing about four feet five 
With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre 
His face was grinning from side to side 

Chorus 
Well he said button up and tighten your lip 
Keep a check on what you say 
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth 
Are going to bounce back on you some day 

Now several years pass 
I thought nothing more 
It was down to a nine to five grind 
I was shuffling round to my old friend's house 
I had party on my mind 
While chatting this chick 
A guerrilla muscled in 
A brace of henchmen right behind 
My blood boiled hard 
I'll give you a piece of my mind 
And this guy appeared by my side 
Don't you know what he said 

Chorus 

I was walking down the street with my old friend Luke 
We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene 
He say yes and I say no 
He say what do you mean 
I pulled my piece and he pulled his 
We stared each other right in the eye 
There was a flash like dynamite 
And this guy appeared by our side 

Chorus
