Five Minutes

The Stranglers

I need a dream where I can live what I said 
I need a place where I can make my bed 
I need a hole where I'll find darkness now 
And if you hassle me mister I might just loose my head 

Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 
Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 

They came home on Saturday night 
They killed a 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 minutes and you're almost dead 
Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 

Some say that I should hate them all 
But I say that wouldn't help at all 
I just wanna find those guys thats all 
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all, that's all 

Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 
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 

Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 
Five minutes and you're almost there 
Five minutes and you're almost dead 

Some say that I should hate them all 
But I say that wouldn't help at all 
I just wanna find those guys thats all 
I just wanna find those guys thats all 
I just wanna find those guys thats all, that's all
