steel claw

Singer:paul brady

a night in television wonderland

just one more fairytale about some rich bitch

lying by the swimming pool

it's the golden school

and life is easy when you make the rules

last friday was the first time

it only took about a half a minute

on the stairway

it was child's play

the odds turn out even

when you give up believing in the

cold law

steel claw

try to get on board you find the lock is on the door

well i say no way

don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay

i don't know who's right or who's wrong

but it doesn't really matter

when you're crawling in the gutter

it's a see-saw

a long hot battle with the cold law

is what you get for messing with the

steel claw

the politicians have forgotten this place

except for a flying visit in a black mercedes

at election time

they cross the line

and everybody runs to watch the pantomime

if they could see what's going on around here

so many people hanging on to the edge

crying out for revolution

retribution

the odds turn out even

when you give up believing in the cold law

cold law

steel claw

try to get on board you find the lock is on the door

well i say no way

don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay

i don't know who's right or who's wrong

but it doesn't really matter

when you're crawling in the gutter

it's a see-saw

a long hot battle with the cold law

is what you get for messing with the

steel claw

sometimes i think i'm going crazy

sometimes i do a line

makes me laugh

makes me want to take a joy ride

on the high tide

sometimes i'm contemplating suicide

meanwhile bobby's out in benidorm

i know he's making out with some sweet senorita

and they go dancing

in the moonlight

the odds turn out even

when you give up the believing in the cold law

cold law

steel claw

try to get on board you find the lock is on the door

well i say no way

don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay

i don't know who's right or who's wrong

but it doesn't really matter

when you're crawling in the gutter

it's a see-saw

a long hot battle with the cold law

is what you get for messing with the

steel claw
