Someone lights a cigarette
While riding in a car
Some ol' guy takes a swig
And passes back the jar (сильный шок; банка)
But where they were last night
No-one can remember
Somebody got murdered
Goodbye, for keeps (навсегда; окончательно), forever
Somebody got murdered
Somebody's dead forever
And you're minding your own business
Carrying spare (лишний) change
You wouldn't cosh (тяжёлая дубинка, налитая свинцом) a barber (парикмахер; сильный ветер при морозе (который режет лицо))
You're hungry all the same
I been very tempted (соблазнять)
To grab (хватать) it from the till (денежный ящик, касса)
I been very hungry
But not enough to kill
Somebody got murdered
His name cannot be found
A small stain on the pavement (мостовая)
They'll scrub (вычеркнуть) it off the ground
As the daily crown disperses (рассеивать)
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?
Sounds like murder!
Those screams!
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?
