Píseň: Julies Been Working For The Drug Squad

Interpret:

Album:
Give 'Em Enough Rope
It's Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie 
She giggle[s] at the screen cos it looks so green 
There's carpets on the pavement 
And feathers in her eye 
But sooner or later, her new friends will realise 
That Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 


She can't even look you in the eye 


(Well) Well it seemed like a dream; too good to be true 
Stash it in the bank while the tablets grow high 
In their Millions 
And everybody's high (Hi, man...) 
But there's someone looking down 
From that mountain side 
Cos Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Cos julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Gumbo! 


[And it's] Ten years for you 
Nineteen for you 
And you can get out in twentyfive 
That is if you're still alive 
Oh oh, Alive 
Oh yeah, Alive 
Oh oh, Alive 
Oh! 


And then there came the night of the greatest ever raid 
They arrested every drug that had ever been made 
They took eightytwo laws 
Through eightytwo doors 
And they didn't halt the pull 
Till the cells were all full 
Cos Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 


They put him in a cell, they said 'you wait here' 
You got the time to count all of your hair 
You got fifteen years 
[That]'s a mighty long time 
You could have been a physicist 
But now your name is on the mailbag list 
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Julie's been working for the Drug Squad 
Gumbo! 


Ten years for you 
Nineteen for you 
And you can get out in twentyfive 
That is if you're still... 
Alive 
Oh oh, Alive 


You're still 
I said you're still
