'They gave me all the time in the world'

lyrics

____________________________________
a scapegoat, a patsy, hung out to dry
by Rocco, the judge and a crooked DI
feels like they gave me all the time in the world

miscarriage of justice - that’s nothing new
but it comes as shock when it happens to you
I didn’t do it despite what they say

unrepentant
I did nothing to offend
my conviction will
stay with me to the end

I’m doing a thirty - that’s ten thousand days
stuck behind bars for my work, rest and play
got an old hand to help me with my routine

I’m a danger to the public so say the police
won’t get no parole board: no early release
just get used to it, the best that I can

unrepentant
I did nothing to offend
my conviction will
stay with me to the end

Born in south London one lunchtime, two became five, then four, then two, sometimes three.

Now we are four again, one in each corner. As odd and as valid as we ever were.
