No Names

When you were young, You had the run. You could scare half the estate with just the Temper of your tongue. Now you're older, you've been looking Back. You've had to call in some old favors just To watch the grandkids' backs. I remember It went so far. That night you had two of your boys walk In and fell her out a bar. Something happened, Something slipped. There was a match between two plates so that The stitches wouldn't stick. No names, no Names. Let's call it what it is, it's like a Cold you dare not breathe. No names, no Names. The law's been asking questions, So the word's gone out today. Whatever you say, No names, no names. I heard the rumors, Everybody did. I can't say I wasn't scared of you despite Your friendliness. Your composure, As black as tar. You could go out and change your life like You was ordering at the bar. No names, no Names. Whatever you think you know, you better unknow it Straight away. No names, no Names. It flashes through your bones and leaves a fear You can't mistake. So whatever you say. There's money on the kitchen table. It's more than you've ever saw. Ten thousand pounds or more burning a hole right Through the floor. There's men coming through the tunnel. It's a meeting that you dare not miss. No names, No names. Me And Dave are standing in a nightclub. A guy we knew distracted him said, "Oh look." Out of the blue, I'm on my back. I heard the crack, I heard the crack. For ten years I couldn't breathe properly. Surgeon put my nose back where it should be. I'm leaving town, I'm leaving town. I get around. Gonna be a straightener down the Golden Glove where Reps are lost and made. If you wanna stay safe, no names, No names.
