Lyrics The Business

The Business

Blood Ties

In the dark and sunless hours

On the streets of London town

There stood you and the boys

And you were always messing around

When the streets are out ot get you

And the sun refuses to shine

What's s kid supposed to do

But turn his life into crime

SOME SAY YOU WERE CRAZY

IT AIN'T TRUE (IF THEY ONLY KNEW)

HALF THE KIDS IN LONDON

ARE LIKE YOU

There was talk you killed your rival

But talking is no proof

You'll be off the manor for a while now

They don't believe the truth

Your brother is still alive though

He pulled through after all

The damage was superficial

When you pushed him for that fall

Night held you back

As you went through the door

You left a man lying

With a bullet on the floor
