The Knife In My Back (Issue 2) Lyrics

I sunk on the maiden voyage
A patheticly tragic fate
I could have been a contender
Contribute something at any rate
All of those sad pretentions
I really should have known
not to have aspirations
My towel it was already thrown

It was not police that brought me down.
not time inside or underground,
nobody's hiss or back row boos
The knife in my back was you
The breach in my defences
let them come rushing in
I could just lie defenceless
and let myself be hollowed out from within

It was not police that brought me down,
not time inside or underground,
nobody's hiss or back row boos
The knife in my back was you
At night I see your sharp teeth grin
as you drive the blade through my skin
Just as I got it out an inch
you're sure to push it deeper in
and give it a spin

It was not police that brought me down,
not time inside or underground,
nor any boss. they'll never do
The knife in my back was you
