Testo Billy Morgan - The Men They Couldn't Hang
Testo della canzone Billy Morgan (The Men They Couldn't Hang), tratta dall'album The Domino Club (Plus Bonus Tracks)
Morgan, the man with no tan, comes in on the midday train
Takes a room in the pension down by the beach
Unwraps his pistol, counts out the bullets beside it
Four bullets, two men, a certain with two bullets each
Down in the town, the old men sit round by the harbour
Watch as the tourists break all their tickets in the bars
At twilight, the festival starts with a feast in the plaza
It's followed by music, wine, fireworks and cigars
Twilight arrives and the streets come alive
The mayor and the chief watch it begin
A girl on a bike turns very businesslike
Leaves fifty grand and a pardon for her sins
So it's goodbye, Billy Morgan
Known from Amsterdam to Tripoli
You can taste your death in every silent breath
Fear the curse of the enemy
Fear the curse of the enemy
On Morgan's GTV, the ministers agree at their summit
In the room straight above, there's a couple making love with a cheer
Out across the water, the statue of Christ throws a shadow
It falls across the city to the window of the volunteer
On the Avenue de France, a beggar does a dance
Sells chocolate to the marching band in masks
The Guardia Civil get a tip about a kill
Morgan doubts, but no-one's there to ask
So it's goodbye, Billy Morgan
Known from Amsterdam to Tripoli
You can taste your death in every silent breath
Fear the curse of the enemy
Fear the curse of the enemy
The festival's begun, Morgan tucks the gun inside his jacket
Walks towards the plaza singing "Boys of the Old Brigade"
He's followed by a rifle, confronted by the guards at a corner
Folds his hands like the statue and dies in the fusillade
Now the gunfire is heard and someone gives the word
The fireworks clash, the marching band turns right
Someone in a mask throws a bomb, does the task
Rides off with the girl on the back of the motorbike
So it's goodbye, Billy Morgan
Known from Amsterdam to Tripoli
You can taste your death in every silent breath
Fear the curse of the enemy
Fear the curse of the enemy
Fear the curse of the enemy
