Cheapshot
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I only stole this 'love song' my love..
For you..
When you said that you wanted to sing along to a song so heartfelt and new...
And now I'm back in the dock up against the crown
A long drop to stir-pot
They tried to take away my comedown
Well a headshot that was a cheapshot from that lot
Now its bail - or jail bound
Oh jailer! Jailor!
I only stole this 'love song' my love..
For you..
When you said that you wanted to sing along to a song so heartfelt and new...
That's when they tried to bring the perforation down
Well a long shot that was
Magistrate gives me thumbs down
The trap door snap drop
A long drop to the old block...
Oh gaolor! Gaolor!
Jail bound...
