The Knack - Squeeze

Standing by the curate

Hat over his eyes

Smokes drifts slowly from him

Looking kind and wise

Seen him in the papers

Murdered by Malone

Heard the bomber whisper

Something about the phone

Watch out on the corner

Standing by the rack

Little Gringo told her

Shot him in the back

Now I’m shaking

Yes I’m shaking

Now I’m shaking

'Cause I ain’t got the knack

Colours seem most

Hands against the wheel

Flowers for opinion

Whiskey is up to deal

Stalling in the warehouse

Bowling alley too

Look behind the jury

Scared to point at you

Watch out on the corner

Standing by the rack

Little Gringo told her

Shot him in the back

Now I’m shaking

Yes I’m shaking

Now I’m shaking

'Cause I ain’t got the knack

Round and round the city

Taxes all fall down

Shot out in a Citroen

East side of the town

Waffle in a Guinness

Tied between the bars

Fifty fifty chances

Bulletproof all cars

Watch out on the corner

Standing by the rack

Little Gringo told her

Shot him in the back

Now I’m shaking

Yes I’m shaking

Now I’m shaking

'Cause I ain’t got the knack
