We were in bed, about 1am
I was asleep, but not for long
Darlin` thats gunfire, thats murder
Turn out the lights love
But darlin` thats MURDER
Its no-one we know
Lets just keep out of it
A friendly cop came to our door
Ask for our names, and did we hear the shots
We told him our story, he wasn`t surprised
he said he couldn`t live in Brixton
I asked him Why not?
He said there`s gunfire, thers murder
Turn out the lights love
But darlin` thats MURDER
Its no-one we know
Lets just keep out of it
A know that you think that we`re callous
Well its not exactly a crime
Crooks killing crooks at the end of our street
It happens all the time
