 THE HUNT - NEW MODEL ARMY (LP GHOST OF CAIN)

       
 We went into town on the Tuesday night,
 
 Searching all the places that you hang about
                   
 We're looking for you
        
 In the back street cellar dive drinking clubs
        
 In the discotheques and the garning pubs
                   
 We're looking for you


          D (V.)
 You will pay the price for my own sweet brother
                   C (III.)
 And what he has become
       D (V.)
 And a hundred other boys and girls
                      
 And all that you have done...


    
 We picked up the trail at the Seven Crowns
 
 One of your cronies - he was doing your rounds
              
 We followed him
        
 Just a silhouette figure up Market Pass
           
 Where the headlamps shine on the broken glass
              
 We followed him


 
 Over the bridge by the old canal
           
 Where the shadows dance on the lighted wall
    
 He stopped to light up a cigarette
                    
 And we dived into a doorway


 [Chorus:]
                                                 
 No police, no summons, no courts of law
                                                 
 No proper procedure, no rules of war
                                                 
 No mitigating circumstance
                                                 
 No lawyers fees, no second chance


           
 There are larses getting trouble on their own home beat
           
 There are old folk battered in the open street
                 
 In this city of ours
           
 There are eyes that see but say nothing at all
           
 There are ears that hear but they don't recall
                 
 In this city of ours

       
 So we followed your man back to your front door
           
 And we're waiting for you outside
          
 'Cos not everybody here is scared of you
                            
 Not everybody passed on the other side

 [Chorus]

 F (VIII.)
 And we could spend our whole lives waiting
                        
 For some thunderbolt to come
 F (VIII.)
 An we could spend our whole lives waiting
                       
 For some justice to be done
                                            
 Unless we make our own

 [Chorus]
