Graham Parker - The Raid Lyrics
Pre>Slow introA d a eWhere were you when the raid came? where were you when the raid came?A d a e d aOut of the window or on the floor. yeah, on the night of the raidA dI was just rolling up some real good blackA eKnock on the door and the window crackedA dThe ds just come to bust the funA eEverybody scatter and runI was jossing with the baby in the bathroomHanging out the party with the coke spoonSomebody yelled hey my heads on fireJust cant take it no higherHey, dealers from the north and dealers from the southJoints in the noses and joints in the mouthBut the friction in the kitchen only wanted outOn the night of the raidSomebody yelled help put that thing on meThats one man I wouldnt want to beIf you said now Im going to make it singOn the night of the raidWell the boys hit the wall like bowling ballsQuestioned them all like they had no ballsSnow hit their noses like an avalancheOn the night on the raidChorus (as inro except..)Where were you when the raid came?Where were you when the raid came?Out of the window or on the floorAYeah, on the night of the raidChorus repeat and fade /pre>
