lyrics

Murder on Demand
She strides defiantly, balling her hands
There's no stopping this murder on demand
But her greedy heart keeps her mind in a tight vice

So she calls him up in the middle of the night
"I need to talk to you about the two of us"
And he prepares for another of their fruitless fights

But now her mask is on, she's so coy and so tender
"Baby I've been thinking 'bout you”
And so the game is on, it's victim versus pretender

So, Harry... Harry, Harry, Harry
I’ve got a problem, won’t you hear me
Out, ‘cos you're the only one I trust

Why can't you see that I could never be your cunning Corleone
The only thing you keep forgetting is that my name isn't Tony!

I need a trigger man
I need a hero
Please be my trigger man
Cause I can't afford a pro

So what’s the deal on your devious plan
A quid pro quo or a murder on command
I'm hardly your average odd job man

Honey it's not like that, it's not some cold-blooded mauling
Easy for you to say, I find it rather appalling!

Oh Harry... Harry, Harry, Harry
Do this and then we can get married
Let the ends justify the means

I need a trigger man
I need a hero
You need a backup plan
Cause I'd never sink that low...

When she sways on the window sill ranting, it's torture
All she needs is just one little push, that'll sort her
Maybe this is my last shot for freedom and fortune
Is it Francis or me who's the innocent lamb to the slaughter?

I need a trigger man
I need a hero
A murder on demand
How far are we prepared to go?
