Crossfire |
| Spring light in a hazy May |
| and a man with a gun at the door |
| Someone’s crawling on the roof above-- |
| all the media here for the show |
| I’ve been waiting for our friends to come |
| Like spiders down ropes to free-fall |
| A thirty round clip for a visiting card-- |
| admit one to the embassy ball |
| Caught in the crossfire on Princes Gate Avenue |
| In go the windows and out go the lights |
| Call me a doctor. |
| Fetch me a policeman |
| I’m down on the floor in one hell of a fight |
| I’m just a soul with an innocent face-- |
| a regular boy dressed in blue |
| conducting myself in a proper way |
| as befitting the job that I do They came down on me like a ton of bricks |
| Swept off my feet, knocked about |
| There’s nothing for it but to sit and wait |
| for the hard men to get me out |
| Calm reason floats from the street below |
| and the slow fuse burns through the night |
| Everyone’s tried to talk it through |
| but they can’t seem to get the deal right |
| Somewhere there are Brownings in a two-hand hold-- |
| cocked and locked, one up the spout |
| There’s nothing for it but to sit and wait |
| for the hard men to get me out |
