Why
Why does a gun take the good ones early
From the noise and the hurley-burley
The brightest stars up in the sky
It gives us pain and makes us cry
In the past we were fast always got things done
Using a stick as a machine gun
All the boys and all the girls just having fun
Making most of love and life sitting in the sun
Heading shots takings knocks in the current bun
Dustbin strikes, food price hikes, darkness when the day is done
National Front, Enochs yobs, down a pint and another one
Time for a riot in the Babylon
Why does a gun take the good ones early
From the noise and the hurley-burley
The brightest stars up in the sky
It gives us pain and makes us cry
Nowadays where's the rage cos it's all gone south
Tony Feedback, the man the mod and his scarf
Actors in a play that made us laugh
Neil Harris having one for me in his Hersham pub
Though it hurts when we do finally lose them all
When my time comes the time the one way human fall
Let's all have a beer ready for the final ball
In our grief united as we still stand tall
Why does a gun take the good ones early
From the noise and the hurley-burley
The brightest stars up in the sky
It gives us pain and makes us cry
Why does a gun take the good ones early
Why does a gun take the good ones early
