The Stranglers Five Minutes song lyrics

I need a dream where I can live what I said

I need a place where I can put my head

I need a hoIe where I'll find darkness now

And if you hassle me mister I might just lose my head

Five minutes and you re almost there

Five minutes and you re almost dead

They came on a Saturday night

They killed the cat and they raped his wife

And in their eyes there was fear and hate

And when they spoke they spoke with knives

Five minutes and you re almost there

Five minus s and you're almost dead

Some say that l should hate them all

But I say that wouldn't help at all

I just wanna find those guys that's all

That's all

Five minutes and you're almost there

Five minutes and you're almost dead

The night time comes and the streets they ring

With the fears of a thousand things

But if you worry about your ports of call

You ll never get nothing done at all
