Genesis - Just a Job to Do lyrics

[Genesis - Just a Job to Do lyrics]

It's no use saying that it's alright
It's alright
But where were you after midnight, midnight
Heard a Bang, Bang, Bang Down they go
It's just a job you do
Cos the harder they run
And the harder they fall
I'm coming down hard on you

Now no-one saw what you looked like
What you looked like
Like a stranger you came out of the night
Out of the night
Cos someone put the word on you
And I hope my aim is true

Cos I got a name, and I got a number
I gotta line on you
I got a name, and I got a number
I'm coming after you

Don't keep saying that it's alright
It's alright it seems you went just a
Little too far this time
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, and down you go
It's just a job I do
Cos the harder you run the harder you fall
I'm coming down hard on you
Hard on you - I hope my aim is true

I got a name, and I got a number
I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number
And I'm coming after you

Keep running, Keep running city to city
Even if you're innocent
You can cause too much embarrassment
And though your heart is aching
And you know there's no mistaking
Cos you feel your life line breaking
(keep running, keep running)
You can feel your hands are shaking
(keep running, keep running)
And no-one answers the telephone
You can never never ever go home alone
And though your heart is aching
And you know there's no mistaking
The footsteps close behind
Now don't pretend that you sleep at night
But sleep tight
And can't you feel that the time is right
It's alright
Heard a Bang Bang Bang, and down you go
Oh no-one really cares
Cos the harder you run
And the harder you fall
I'm coming down hard on you
Hard on you - I'm hoping that my aim is true

I got a name, and I got a number
I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number
I'm coming after you

I got a name, and I got a number
I got a line on you
I got a name, and I got a number
I got a job to do
