HEADHUNTER - LYRICS

VERSE 1

DURING THE WEEK
WE’RE ON THE TRADING FLOOR
OR PRACTISING LAW
DEFENDING YOU IN COURT
BUT WHEN SATURDAY COMES
WE LOVE NOTHING MORE
THAN ONE WORLD CUP
AND TWO WORLD WARS
BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
WE GOTTA QUENCH OUR THIRST
AND REMINISCE ABOUT ROONEY
BACK TO GEOFF HURST
5’7” IN HEIGHT
WHITE MALE WITH A GRIPE
BUT WE NEVER TAKE FLIGHT
WE ALWAYS STAND AND FIGHT
LIKE THE OTHER NIGHT
A STUPID LITTLE PRICK
RUSHED AT ME WITH A SWITCH
JUST TOOK A LITTLE NICK
NOTHING MORE THAN AN ITCH
WON’T EVEN NEED A STITCH
SHIT, I WAS EVEN PISSED
I GRABBED HIS WRIST
AND WITH A LITTLE TWIST
GAVE THE KNIFE A FLICK
WHIPPED OFF HIS BOTTOM LIP
THEN A STAB TO THE HIP
IT ALL LOOKED PRETTY SICK
BUT HE CAME WITH THAT SHIT
I WALKED AWAY
CRACKED A CAN AND SIPPED


VERSE 2

WE’RE ‘GONNA TAKE THEIR PUB
SPILL A LITTLE BLOOD
LET’EM KNOW WE’RE STRONG
IN ANY NEIGHBOURHOOD
WE THREW THE GAUNLET DOWN
IN THIS SHITTY TOWN
FIRST CLOWN CAME OUT
HOLDING A PINT OF STOUT
HE TOOK A 4”X 2”
ACROSS HIS GAWPING MOUTH
WE PICKED THE MOMENT TO POUNCE
REP. SEALED FROM MILES AROUND
ONE OF OUR NUMBER
WAS A TOTAL NIGHTMARE
BRAIN FRIED ON DRUGS
HIS MIND NOT ALL THERE
A TOTAL PSYCHO WHO’D LOST THE PLOT
HE ONCE ATTACKED A WEARY COP
AND BIT THE TOP
OF THE POOR PLODS EAR OFF
I AIN’T JESTING
CHECK THE PIG REPORTS
HE CHEWED ON THAT GRISTLE
LIKE A BASSETTS ALLSORT
HAVING SAID THAT
IT WAS THE LAST TIME HE FOUGHT
JUDGE THREW AWAY THE KEY
IT WAS THE LAST RESORT
WE’VE GOT A REAL TIGHT TEAM
FROM VARIOUS SCENES
SUITED BUSINESS MEN
TO COMBAT 18
SEE IT’S ALL IN THE THRILL
IT’S EVEN BETTER THAN SEX
WELL MAYBE NOT SEX
BUT IT’S A CLOSE SECOND BEST
I’M A SOCIAL MONSTER
A FOUL PARIAH
ONLY GOOD FOR CANNON FODDER
AND FRIENDLY FIRE

VERSE 3

I’VE GOT A BETTER LIFE NOW
A WIFE AND TOT IN THE COT
BUT THE BUZZ OF THOSE DAYS
WON’T BE EASILY FORGOT
I WAS A LOST SOUL
WITH NO FAMILY OF MY OWN
I WAS A BABE IN ARMS
WHEN MY FATHER LEFT HOME
MOTHER RAISED ME ALONE
‘TIL SMACK TOOK ITS TOLL
GOT A HOLD
GREW LIKE MOULD
AND REFUSED TO LET GO
MORE OR LESS DISOWNED
FREE TO WALK AND ROAM
IT WAS A ONE WAY TRIP
TO THE FOSTER HOME
IT WASN’T LONG BEFORE
I CHOSE THE WRONG DOOR
LOOKING FOR A PATH
IT WAS STRAIGHT UP
ATTACK MODE
THAT PATH CAME TO ME
IN THE SHAPE OF THE FIRM
BOOZE, VIOLENCE AND GIRLS
I WAS QUICK TO LEARN
BEING PART OF SOMETHING
NO LONGER REJECTED
AT LAST A FAMILY
WHERE I WOULD BE ACCEPTED
SO THERE IT IS
NOT PROUD OF WHAT I DID
BUT EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE
TO CHANGE HOW THEY LIVE

CHORUS

YA GOTTA FIND THE BUZZ
WE’VE A JOB TO DO
LET THE FEAR PASS OVER YOU
FEEL THE ADRENALINE RUSH
AS YOUR COURAGE IS FOUND
STAND FIRM AND HOLD YOUR GROUND
HEADHUNTER!!
