Lyrics The Unfortunate Gent - Ed Drewett

The Unfortunate Gent

Mama, I just killed a man
I ain’t fakin' like Freddie
God damn, I just killed a man
There I was minding my own business
When he just threw his stupid self right in front of my van
If there’s anyone can help me, you can
So how do we plan disposing of the body?
I’m too young to go to jail, mum
Ain’t I been a good son?
Since I left college
If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night
You know what to do, you know what to say
That I was tucked up dreaming of a better life
Mama don’t let them lock me away, no, no
Mama, I just killed a man
I ain’t fakin' like Freddie
God damn, I just killed a man
There I was minding my own business
When he just run right into the knife in my hand
If there’s anyone can help me, you can
So how do we plan disposing of the body?
I’m too young to go to jail, mum
Ain’t I been a good son?
Since I finished college
If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night
You know what to do, you know what to say
That I was tucked up dreaming of a better life
Mama don’t let them lock me away, no, no
I’m just an unfortunate gentleman
I’m just an unfortunate gentleman
I guess I’m an unfortunate gentleman
But I didn’t do it
Well, I didn’t mean to do it
You’ve always been so good to me, mum
And I blew it
But I don’t suppose it would be too much to ask
If they could find your prince on the wheel of the car
If they could find your prince on the grip of the knife
'Cause I just can’t imagine going down for life
I’m just an unfortunate gentleman
Going down for life
I’m just an unfortunate gentleman
I’m just an unfortunate gentleman
You gotta help me now
You’re next, sunshine
