Did You Hear About Charlie?

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Charlie was a friend of mine Thick as thieves since we were nine His Nan would call us Ron & Reggie Kray Playing cops and robbers in the sun On rusty bikes with plastic guns We were the kings of his estate We stole a car when we were teens Filled it up with gasoline As the sirens rang we pissed upon the flames We got taken home by the feds His Nan clipped us round the еar and said You're gonna be the dеath of me someday [Chorus] So run, Charlie run I'm right behind you like the days when we were young Here they come, so Charlie run Faster than a bullet from your loaded Bullet from your loaded gun [Verse 2] Charlie was a friend of mine He fell into a life of crime Recruited by a lowlife local gang One night when we were twenty one He said 'look Lou, like when we were young' And held a loaded Glock out in his hand I said Char' this ain't a game no more Your Nans under the weather Remember what she said before Troubles gonna get ya [Chorus] So run, Charlie run I'm right behind you like the days when we were young Here they come, so Charlie run Faster than a bullet from your loaded Bullet from your loaded gun [Bridge] Did you hear about Charlie? (Your loaded gun) Did you hear about Charlie? [Verse 3] Charlie was a friend of mine I hadn't seen him for some time He called to say his Nan had passed away He said Lou I've ended up inside I'll miss the chance to say goodbye I hope that you can make it to the wake But when I'm out I'm gonna change Things are getting better Remember when she used to say Troubles gonna get ya [Chorus] So run, Charlie run I'm right behind you like the days when we were young Look here they come, so Charlie run Faster than a bullet from your loaded Bullet from your loaded gun [Outro] Did you hear about Charlie? (Your loaded gun) Did you hear about Charlie? (Your loaded gun) Did you hear about, did you hear about Did you hear about Charlie?
