Listen closely May
This phone may not be safe
I have been betrayed
And I must leave today
Where, I cannot say
Somewhere far away
Maybe to the States
Where no one knows my face
So May, take care of the kids
Tell them I love them
Ill send a few quid when I can
I know, this is no kind of life
But youve got to be strong
When youre a fugitives wife
Im calling from some booth
No, I cant come home
But this is not goodbye
I love you more than life
(chorus)
Something isnt right
The streets are much too quiet
The shops all locked up tight
Theres not one soul in sight
(chorus)
And May, theyve got me in sight
Theres a least twenty five
Its down to a fight or a flight
This phone may not be safe
I have been betrayed
And I must leave today
Where, I cannot say
Somewhere far away
Maybe to the States
Where no one knows my face
So May, take care of the kids
Tell them I love them
Ill send a few quid when I can
I know, this is no kind of life
But youve got to be strong
When youre a fugitives wife
Im calling from some booth
No, I cant come home
But this is not goodbye
I love you more than life
(chorus)
Something isnt right
The streets are much too quiet
The shops all locked up tight
Theres not one soul in sight
(chorus)
And May, theyve got me in sight
Theres a least twenty five
Its down to a fight or a flight
