A number of years ago I queued outside
Outside a cinema in London’s West End
My reason for queuing was that the cinema
Was that it was showing a movie called Death Wish
In which Charles Bronson wiped out all the bad guys
I had always fancied myself as something of a vigilante
And killed a couple of dealers and perverts
Just to get the taste but I stopped as soon as I started
As I knew the cops were on my tail but they soon lost interest
And I married had kids and held down a respectable job
I am now standing on the very spot where I queued all those years ago
There are still bad guys on the streets of my beloved city and I think
It is about time that the city is cleaned up once again
I can feel my gun inside my jacket pocket and intend to use it soon
As nobody especially the cops will suspect a respectable architect
Outlaw
