UB40 - Friendly Fire lyrics
[UB40 - Friendly Fire lyrics]
We were partners in crime
Spending our days, serving our time
In the usual way we went behind the lines
To even the score
I won the battle but you won the war
I used to be a gun for hire
Then I was killed by friendly fire
I used to be a real high flyer
Then I was killed by friendly fire
A shot rang out and knocked me flat
Ain't no coming back from a lick like that
I never saw it coming
It came out of the blue
I never did believe my assassin would be you
I got the message down the wire
That I was killed by friendly fire
I used to be a gun for hire
Then I was killed by friendly fire
Spending our days, serving our time
In the usual way we went behind the lines
To even the score
I won the battle but you won the war
I used to be a gun for hire
Then I was killed by friendly fire
I used to be a real high flyer
Then I was killed by friendly fire
A shot rang out and knocked me flat
Ain't no coming back from a lick like that
I never saw it coming
It came out of the blue
I never did believe my assassin would be you
I got the message down the wire
That I was killed by friendly fire
I used to be a gun for hire
Then I was killed by friendly fire
