Jake Bugg - Ballad of Mr. Jones lyrics
[Jake Bugg - Ballad of Mr. Jones lyrics]
There's a blind man in the witness stand
With three young men's lives in his hands
There's a poor boy who stood at the scene
Who'll be haunted by the
Dirty things he's seen
It's a shame all the jury knew the accused
Because now they're running free when they
Left her cold and bruised
There's a chalked white line
Stained with blood
Sorry Mr jones, we did all we could
There's a whole lot of people out
There and they're all running free
Some will care and some will steal
The last breath that you breathe
From you, from you
So Mr jones in a cruel twist of fate
Found the perpetrators in a drunken haze
Gave them retribution for their twisted ways
Now he's going down for years instead of days
There's a whole lot of people out there
And they're a wild and restless sea
Some will care and some will steal the
Last breath that you breathe from you
From you, from you
With three young men's lives in his hands
There's a poor boy who stood at the scene
Who'll be haunted by the
Dirty things he's seen
It's a shame all the jury knew the accused
Because now they're running free when they
Left her cold and bruised
There's a chalked white line
Stained with blood
Sorry Mr jones, we did all we could
There's a whole lot of people out
There and they're all running free
Some will care and some will steal
The last breath that you breathe
From you, from you
So Mr jones in a cruel twist of fate
Found the perpetrators in a drunken haze
Gave them retribution for their twisted ways
Now he's going down for years instead of days
There's a whole lot of people out there
And they're a wild and restless sea
Some will care and some will steal the
Last breath that you breathe from you
From you, from you
