Hollies Crossfire Lyrics

Crossfire Lyrics

The judge he put me down for life because I was a stone 

They never got
the money back because I never told 

Well half of twenty five went by
before they set me free 

I know the game I know they play it they're
gonna follow me 



Newspaper men crawl around with me say they want
the storyline 

but I ain't gonna tell to them why I served the time 

I know the boys are waiting in the cafe across the way 

They wanna know
where the money Where it is it's gonna stay 



Oh caught in the
middle of a crossfire 

Gun on my left gun on my right Crossfire 



Well I ain't going nowhere 'cos I kinda like this place 

Until
the heat cools down ain't gonna show my face 

I tried to get some sleep
someone's ringing on the phone 

Why can't they all just go away and leave
me alone 



chorus 



Just when I think I'm verging on the
brink of freedom 

someone from the past turns to me and asks 

'Are
you going somewhere If so then lead on' 



I don't pay no rent it's
on the house I still got friends I found 

They'll all be on my good books
when the time it comes around 

Till then I'll sit here patiently and bide
my time each day 

and when I'm free and flying that'll be the time to pay




chorus 



Crossfire
