Lyrics
JACK THE RAZOR.
Jack the Razor?s got a four leaf clover, he?s the local ladies man.
He struts the sidewalk with a kind of a cock walk and he kicks an empty can.
He plays the game by his own rule, he plays the game to win.
Jack the knife you know he?s nobodys fool; Get a load of him.
In a drug store in downtown Norwich, on the bad side of the tracks,
Jack the Razor took the cashier aside and put a gun to his back.
?Hand over the money, if you dont want a brain full of lead.
I need the dough for my honey.? The cashier gave him the bread.
CHORUS: Jack the Razor you?re nobodys? friend,
You?ve turned your back on the sun.
Jack the Razor you?re at it again,
Alienating everyone, everyone, everyone.
A passing punter came in to the shop, to buy a packet of smoke;
Jack panicked and he turned and shot the punter right through the door.
The automatic alarm it resounded like a scream in the night.
The cashier tried to make for the back room; he got a hole in the heart.
Jack the knife you?ve lost your four leaf clover, you better run while you can
The screaming sirens are all getting louder. Forget the money and scramm.
He made his way to the street in a frenzy and took to his heels as he saw,
The flashing blue lights of the law behind him. Nowhere to run anymore.
CHORUS:.....................SOLO....................
Cornered in a dead end alley,
Cornered, like a rat in a trap.
Cornered, what you gonna do Jack..............................
