about

Originally releases as a 7" single on Clever Metal Records (1980). 2014 digital transfer and remaster.

lyrics

I was trapped by circumstance,
I was fingered by random chance
I admit I witnessed it all,
can’t confess to total recall
Now they want to re-arrange,
and every road I tread looks
strange, strange
Doors are shut and the lights
don’t work, I only laughed,
my hands are clean
No key now fits the lock,
I die a little with every knock
Punishment befits the crime,
can’t it wait till another time?
I remember when I heard,
eyes dilate and teeth are bared
I’ve used up all my last
reserves, everybody gets (so
they tell me) what he deserves
Punishment befits the crime,
can’t it wait till another time?
Can’t it wait? Can’t it wait?
Can’t it wait? Can’t it wait?
Did she bleed? I never saw it,
leather shone when she wore it
Skin flashed white in the
darkness, after it all,
I wasn’t impressed
Now they want to re-arrange,
and every road I tread looks
strange, strange
So strange, except the same,
so strange, except the same
So strange, except the same,
so strange, so strange
Heads down….
