Bedouin Soundclash - The Quick and the Dead lyrics

Loan shark Mike kicked the bucket
So why worry about the holes in my pockets
So I ran with the quickness
Rather than have to sit in the stillness

O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead

Girl you live in a hurry
Life comes at you in a fury
And you got to be something
Well that something turns to nothing
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead

So you worry about my life
And the hours and the time


Could I ever compromise?
And I wonder about your life
Do I ever come to mind?
Did you have to let it die?

Sing a song for the quick and the dead
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
O-o-o-ooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
