We were in bed, about 1am\\
I was asleep, but not for long\\

Darlin' thats gunfire, that's 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, there's 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\\

Trivia : as the song sugests Dalberg Road was right near Les's before he moved\\
