With your hands on your head

Or on the trigger of your gun
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton
The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell
You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come
When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting in death row
You can crush us
You can bruise us
Have to answer to
Oh, Guns of Brixton
--You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun
You can crush us, bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
When they kick out your front doors
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun
You can crush us, bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton
Oh, the guns of Brixton

THE CAT CAME BACK
Old Mister Johnson had troubles of his own
He had a yellow cat which wouldn't leave its home;
He tried and he tried to give the cat away,
He gave it to a man goin' far, far away.
Chorus
But the cat came back the very next day,
The cat came back, we thought he was a goner
But the cat came back; it just couldn't stay away.
Away, away, yea, yea, yea
The man around the corner swore he'd kill the cat on sight,
He loaded up his shotgun with nails and dynamite;
He waited and he waited for the cat to come around,
Ninety seven pieces of the man is all they found.
Chorus
He gave it to a little boy with a dollar note,
Told him for to take it up the river in a boat;
They tied a rope around its neck, it must have weighed a pound
Now they drag the river for a little boy that's drowned.
Chorus
He gave it to a man going up in a balloon,
He told him for to take it to the man in the moon;
The balloon came down about ninety miles away,
Where he is now, well I dare not say.
Chorus
He gave it to a man going way out West,
Told him for to take it to the one he loved the best;
First the train hit the curve, then it jumped the rail,
Not a soul was left behind to tell the gruesome tale.
Chorus
The cat it had some company one night out in the yard,
Someone threw a boot-jack, and they threw it mighty hard;
It caught the cat behind the ear, she thought it rather slight,
When along came a brick-bat and knocked the cat out of sight
Chorus
Away across the ocean they did send the cat at last,
Vessel only out a day and making water fast;
People all began to pray, the boat began to toss,
A great big gust of wind came by and every soul was lost.
Chorus
On a telegraph wire, sparrows sitting in a bunch,
The cat was feeling hungry, thought she'd like 'em for a lunch;
Climbing softly up the pole, and when she reached the top,
Put her foot upon the electric wire, which tied her in a knot.
Chorus
The cat was a possessor of a family of its own,
With seven little kittens till there came a cyclone;
Blew the houses all apart and tossed the cat around,
The air was full of kittens, and not a one was ever found.
Chorus
The atom bomb fell just the other day,
The H-Bomb fell in the very same way;
Russia went, England went, and then the U.S.A.
The human race was finished without a chance to pray.
Chorus

Will she still believe it when he's dead.

WHEN WE WERE STILL FRIENDS
Amigo we’re back to wherever we started
The indigo turned black and we’re both brokenhearted
There are pictures of us but the colours will fade
And soon I will just be rain on your parade
We’re on different tracks and on opposite ends
But was it any different when we were still friends
When you look down to the valley from the top of a mountain
When you throw down a silver coin in a fountain
And you wish you were back in the land when you were you raised
And you wish you were back in the crowd where you were praised
Where the show is performed and the audience attends
Was it any different when we were still friends
I had a dream and your name was Black Foot Jack
I looked down to you and you covered my back
Our horses were tall and our guns were loaded
I was chewing chewing-gum and the bubbles exploded
You say my dreams do not make sense
But was it any different when we were still friends

I WISH THAT I COULD SEE YOU SOON
I had to leave you in Galway
but i think about you every day
in the morning and in the afternoon
I wish that i could see you soon
and when i heard you i felt so fine
it was like there was
nothing left on my mind
it was like Rockaway Beach in the month of June
I wish that i could see you soon
I have no plans to meet you babe,
I had a million things to do babe,
But it hit my heart with a harpoon,
I wish that i could see you soon
-- The angels go
How long do you can't see her?
And i'm like - the sooner the better
do you really think she'll wait for you?
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Well i have no way to say and there's nothing i can do
Now that i'm across the sea i wonder if
you're gonna wait for me
or if you're gonna find
a new boy to spoon
I wish that i could see you soon
And if you
wait a little my pretty friend
until I come back to hold your hand
would be like bugs when they break through the cocoon
you know
I wish that i could see you soon
It has been a while
since i felt like this
and now i've found someone i really miss
under the sun, under the moon
I wish that i could see you soon -- Angels!
