Line Up

On the doorstep with the mail A letter from the Police Looking for a male Who disturbed the peace My description was a match I did start to panic I’m not their prize catch It’s just a line up and that’s it I went to the station To join the line It was a weird situation The accused was about 5’9 With a shaved head Wearing blue jeans And his top was red It was like a movie scene We all stood in a row I was number two It wasn’t right from word go They said “it’s you” You’re having a laugh That’s not right That date I had a bath And an early night It wasn’t disturbing the peace Murder was the case Believe me please Look at my face Why would I kill? I have no need I feel ill My hearts racing at a speed They took my DNA And my fingerprints In the cell I stay Lots of time to think Will I get out? Or on remand? You can shout and shout But they won’t answer your demands To shed a tear Is only natural I’m full of fear I need my family and pals The door unlocked The officer walked in He apologised a lot It was a misunderstanding I took my belongings and the case And began to run To get from that place As fast as I can
