Sirens wail and lights start to dance I try to act normal but i'm shittin' my pants Walking faster, look over my shoulder It's calming down now, the trails getting colder Turn a corner, I'm in for a shock I stared at a copper and now our eyes lock Time stands still, fuck me does he know About the pills, the acid, the speed and the blow Stuffed in my pockets, my hat and my shoes Should have got a taxi but i can't stand the queues He looks away, breathe a sigh of relief Situations like this are nothing but grief
Chorus
The police are over there I tried to hide my vacant stare
Eggsy
Two cones burn bright from the bong Sampled the mix, walking home like a moron Fear follows in a line behind Fills my mind, makes my sences go blind I hear footsteps followed by a diesel van See the blue lights being followed by the man It's getting late and i'm packin' the draw Do i tell them last i lost my dog like twice before It won't work, i'll say my gran just died Failing that, i'll say i'm looking for a cab ride My brain is racing and my legs turn to wood If the police see my eyes, they'll see i've been up to no good My mind tripping through the paranoid zone I should have fucked it all off and called a pizza from home
Chorus
The police are over there (and your doing illegals, your doing illegals) I tried to hide my vacant stare (they're watching you)
Mike
Like a neon racer, speeding down the street I needs a fuckin' spliff, i'd better be discreet Skinnin' up on Newport bridge, am i out of my mind? I looks in the mirror, the police are behind Got a pocket full of pills and a glove box full of Mary-jane I know - i'll lose 'em in the bus lane Taxi in the way, i'll never get past Those fuckin' copper cars are well fuckin fast I've only got a shitty Vauxhall nova I'll never give up, I'll never pull over Avoiding eye contact, i weaves in and out Nearly caused a pile up at the fuckin roundabout Blue lights are flashing, here we fuckin go I'm smoking up a spliff and my car stinks of blow Then he sped past me and drove away So i drove 'round slow for the rest of the day
Chorus
The police are over there (and your doing illegals, your doing illegals) I tried to hide my vacant stare (they're watching you)
Adam Flashing blue lights, reading my rights Drama, smokin' marijuana makes me fuckin calmer Charlie tango alpha, i'm paranoid I'm shittin' myself but it aint fuckin heameroids Outside my house its an unmarked car I aint going down so piss you wanker oh no, hang on, its Two-way Bob With his new boyfriend, giving him a hand job He starts to sweat, his hands on his chopper Roll another fat one and he aint a fuckin copper I got paranoid with my herbal cigs and when i goes out i wear dark glasses and wigs
2hats Eyes are watching me everywhere I can't see them, but i can feel their stare Got to hold on tight when i see the police Don't want an *ughh* unexpected release
Chorus
The police are over there (and your doing illegals, your doing illegals) I tried to hide my vacant stare (they're watching you) The police are over there (and your doing illegals, your doing illegals) I tried to hide my vacant stare (they're watching you)
