The Great Escape - Ian Hunter[00:00:01]
On the night of my 21st birthday[00:00:08]
I was playing in a pub back room[00:00:12]
When a local dude informed me of[00:00:15]
My impending doom[00:00:20]
Apparently I'd sullied the[00:00:24]
Reputation of[00:00:27]
The best left hook in the business now[00:00:31]
He's looking for my blood[00:00:35]
There's a thug in every doorway[00:00:44]
And it's coming up to closing time[00:00:48]
The best left hook in the business puts[00:00:52]
His chair right next to mine[00:00:55]
My heart was pushing like a funny car[00:00:59]
Just before the start of a race[00:01:03]
This ain't no time to panic boy [00:01:08]
Better get your head on straight[00:01:10]
I left my guitar on the top of the bar [00:01:16]
My jacket and coat on the seat[00:01:20]
I'm over the counter up the back stairs [00:01:24]
They all thought I was taking a leak[00:01:28]
I fly through the air with the greatest of ease[00:01:31]
Out of the window and into the breeze[00:01:35]
I land on my feet and I'm picking up speed[00:01:39]
And all I could think was "You'll never catch me"[00:01:43]
When you got to get away[00:01:49]
You got to get away[00:01:51]
When you got to get away it's true[00:01:53]
When you got to get away[00:01:56]
You got to get away[00:01:58]
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you[00:02:01]
There ain't no rhyme there ain't no reason [00:02:34]
Just people going over the top[00:02:38]
The winners are losers the losers are covered in blood and they can't get it off[00:02:42]
I fly through the air with the greatest of ease[00:02:50]
Out of the window over the trees[00:02:53]
I land on my feet and I'm picking up speed[00:02:57]
And all I could think was "You'll never catch me"[00:03:01]
When you get away[00:03:08]
You got get away[00:03:09]
If you got get away it's true[00:03:11]
If you got get away[00:03:15]
You got get away[00:03:17]
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you[00:03:19]
When you got get away[00:03:23]
You got get away[00:03:24]
If you got get away it's true[00:03:26]
If you got get away[00:03:30]
You got get away[00:03:32]
Especially if the other guy is bigger than you[00:03:34]
That was my great escape[00:03:42]
That was my big adventure[00:03:46]
That was my brush with danger[00:03:50]
That was my Alamo baby[00:03:53]
I heard alarm bells ringing[00:03:57]
I heard the fat lady singing[00:04:00]
I seen the club when he came out swingin'[00:04:04]
I seen his eyes when I gave him the finger[00:04:07]
Those days are over it's been good to know yah[00:04:12]
You're just a stone age daydream[00:04:19]
