Night Of The Hunter

Love and hate

Tattooed on the knuckles around the handles of a blade

On the knuckles around the handles of a blade

Your bloody blade

Now here it comes

Oh the flashing lights and sirens, ah, you know it won't be long

Time for the radio to play your last song

Your last song

I'm just calling to tell you, baby

That they're taking me away for a while

Well, don't blame me, it's the world that made me

And they're taking me away for a–

Taking me away for a–

And yes, ah well, here they come

Flashing lights and sirens scream, you know they won't be long

Just time to phone the missus and you tell her what you've done

Now you've done wrong

I was calling to tell you, baby

They're taking me away for a while

Ah you can't blame me, it's this world that's made me

Now they're taking me away for a–

Taking me away for a–

Oh you've got to know

As you wash the blood from your clothes

You can clean out your clothes

You'll never clean your soul, no, no

ACAB

Tattooed on your knuckles, does the world know what it means?

Oh now they're

Slipping on the bracelets, are you so young and hard and mean?

So cold and mean

And the radio says

I'm just calling to tell you, baby

That they're taking me away for a while

No, don't blame me, it's this world that's made me

Now they're taking me away for a–

Taking me away for a–

Love and hate on your knuckles

On your white knuckles

Love and hate

On your knuckles and the handles of a blade

The handles of it, oh
