paroles de chanson '74 (Parts 1, 2 & 3) - Go Birch

It was a windowless room and one of them smoked
I tried complaining but the big one croaked
We're old school here so start singing or choke
So I smiled and said OK, you can start with the notes

Well I came by the gun in seventy four
Working in Brum for the man Jon Ford
I took it from someone who had it aimed it at my head
My hands were faster than my desire to be dead

I levelled it at him and it felt good in my hand
I liked the cold steel and I liked the big bang
I looked after it well and it looked after me
We did a few favours but never for free

Well Smokey stopped me with a kick to my chair
Is this a confession or some Johnny Cash fayre?
We know that you're guilty, so why try and deny
You were stood at the scene watching their blood dry

A bullet through her heart and one through his eye
We know that you did it we just wanna know why
I didn't take kindly to be knocked off my stride

I'm denying nothing I've got nothing to hide
But it's quite a long story and should be told with a beer
So I'm saying nothing 'til my drummer gets here

Seventy four was a big year for me
I got my first car
I met my first wife
I learned northern soul dancing
And took my first life

Seventy four was a big year for me
I got my first car
I met my first wife
I learned northern soul dancing
And took my first life

We wanna know why boy
We wanna know why
We wanna know why boy
We wanna know why
We wanna know why boy
We wanna know why
We wanna know why boy
We wanna know why
We wanna know why boy

We wanna know why
