Nightline - John Martyn

Watch out, watch

Watch out

They got frozen faces

They live in broken rooms

They got the strangest of places

In the dark and the gloom

Watch your mouth boy

Watch your every word

We’re coming for you

Don’t say you have not heard

Watch out, watch out the law’s about

Watch out, cover that door

Watch out, watch out the law’s about

Watch out, what’s your freedom for?

Tell it to the nightline

Tell it before they lose their minds

Tell it to the nightline

Tell those people why

Your mama’s crying

And your daddy’s sad

They know your lying

And they know you’ve been had

Watch out, watch out the law’s about

Watch out, cover that door

Watch out, watch out the law’s about

Watch out, what’s your freedom for?

Tell it on the nightline

Tell it before you lose your mind

Tell it on the nightline

Tell those people why

Is there love for sale?

Is there love for sale?

We got safety catches

But the safety kills

We got safety matches

We got gasoline spills

Talk straight, don’t try to lie to me

Talk straight, look me in the eye

Talk straight, don’t try to lie to me

Talk straight, tell these people why

Tell it to the nightline

Tell it before they lose their minds

Tell it to the nightline

Tell these people why

Is there love for sale?

Is there love for sale?

Is there love for sale, I’m buying

It’s love for sale, I’m trying

Is there love for sale
