| Someone lights a cigarette | |
| While riding in a car | |
| Some ol' guy takes a swig | |
| And passes back the jar | |
| But where they were last night | |
| No-one can remember | |
| Somebody got murdered | |
| Goodbye, for keeps, forever | |
| Somebody got murdered | |
| Somebody's dead forever | |
| And you're minding your own business | |
| Carrying spare change | |
| You wouldn't cosh a barber | |
| You're hungry all the same | |
| I been very tempted | |
| To grab it from the till | |
| I been very hungry | |
| But not enough to kill | |
| Somebody got murdered | |
| His name cannot be found | |
| A small stain on the pavement | |
| They'll scrub it off the ground | |
| As the daily crown disperses | |
| No-one says that much | |
| Somebody got murdered | |
| And it' left me with a touch | |
| Somebody got murdered | |
| Somebody's dead forever | |
| Sounds like murder! | |
| Those shouts! | |
| Are they drunk down below? | |
| It's late, and my watch stopped | |
| Some time ago | |
| Sounds like murder! | |
| Those screams! | |
| Are they drunk down below? |
