On The Green - Jamie T

«Someone help me!»

I heard her scream

The old man clutched her chest

Said, «Ambulance on the way, stay with me»

And Johnny called and said, «There's been a murder on the green»

Someone help her, it can’t be me

Standing over her with a gun in my hand

I made my baby bleed

It’s not my fault, she shot first at me

And in the blink, blink, blink

Of an eye, eye, eye

Another young lover dies

So they took me to a cell

Threw away the key

And damned me right back down to hell

I said, «Well, I haven’t been home in a while»

Now I got angels knocking at my door

Whispering sweet nothings

And I screamed, «I can’t take anymore!»

«You're a coward, why don’t you end it all?»

And in the blink, blink, blink

Of an eye, eye, eye

Another young lover dies

Well, I’m not the only one

Who’s guilty of committing this crime

I sing this song for the girl who met my gun

A bullet in the heart

It’s just another problem I’m working on

One more, alright

Hey Louie, hey Louie, take us to Chinatown

And with my last breath, I said, «Preacher, please»

To ask the undertaker

If he’ll partake in some bribery

And steal my body and go and bury it on the green

Next to my gun, young Annie

Will discuss all the arguments

With friends and lover’s enemies

Or maybe we were both just trigger-happy

And in the blink, blink, blink

Of an eye, eye, eye

Another young lover dies

Well, I’m not the only one

Who’s guilty of committing this crime

I sing this song for the girl who met my gun

A bullet in the heart

It’s just another problem I’m working on
