Lyrics The Pretenders

The Pretenders

Fast or Slow

It's happening in your own back yard

But finding it is very hard

Sitting on the garden fence

Knowing which is your size,

Just a case of common sense.

Fast or slow, the law's the law

Doesn't matter 'bout the truth at all

The evidence before your eyes

(Your honor)

Countryman is honest,

So you'll never hear the lies

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

It's open to interpretation

The recording of the conversation

Taken out of context so they say

(Your honor)

Countryman will get there,

Make that always a way?

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

It's hit the fan, so pay the price

We're looking for the main with the right advice

The hunted hunter's gone to ground

(Your honor)

The end of the day the job is done,

But he don't feel so proud

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

Countryman is on the case

Clearing up a big disgrace

(Your honor, your honor)

Countryman is on the case

Clear it up and kick it in your face

(Your honor, your honor)

(Spoken)

Order! Order!

(sound of sheep)
