    Verse 1
    It 
    was 
    midnight 
    on 
    the murder 
    mile 

    Wilson 
    Pickett's 
    finest 
    hour 

    I was 
    walking 
    towards 
    the flashing 
    smile 

    Of the 
    Crystal 
    Palace 
    Tower 

    Past 
    the big 
    old church 

    where the 
    hands 
    of God 

    Were 
    stuck 
    on lucky 
    7 

    And the 
    bells 
    inside 
    were 
    limbering 
    up 

    For 
    a sawn- 
    off shotgun 
    wedding 

    From the 
    gas 
    board 
    to 

    the fire 
    brigade 

    There's 
    a dozen 
    GPO's 

    There's 
    an all 
    night 
    chicken 
    takeaway 

    Which 
    was 
    finger 
    lickin' 
    closed 

    As 
    I passed 
    the wonder 
    of 

    good 
    old 
    Woolworths 

    My travel 
    card 
    expired 

    It was 
    midnight 
    on 
    the murder 
    mile 

    Verse 2
    O.K. 
    let's 
    riot 


    In the 
    avenues 
    and 
    alleyways 

    I 
    took a 
    short- 
    cut 
    to the 
    throat 

    I 
    was stitched 
    up 
    by 
    the 
    Boys 
    Brigade 

    And 
    I was 
    beaten 
    to 
    a 
    pulp 

    I 
    was 
    marinaded, regurgitated 

    And served 
    up 
    as 
    a cold 
    meat 

    And 
    as they shoved 
    me 
    in the 
    blender 

    I 
    remembered 
    Johnny 
    told 
    me 

    Verse 3
    If 
    the con
    crete 
    and 
    the clay 

    beneath 
    your 
    feet 

    Don't 
    get 
    you son 

    The 
    av
    enues 
    and 
    alleyways 

    are gonna 
    do 
    it 

    Just 
    for fun 

    They'll suck 
    you in 
    and spit 
    you out 

    And 
    leave 
    your 
    family 
    lonely 

    The 
    tele
    phones 
    on 
    sticks 

    will tell 
    you 

    999 calls 
    only 

    Verse 4

    But 
    it's 
    too 
    late 
    to call 
    the fire 
    brigade 

    An 
    ambulance 
    or 
    the cops 

    I need 
    the 
    father, 

    son 
    and 
    holy 
    coast 
    guard 

    Operator, 
    operator 

    Long 
    distance, 

    information 
    get 
    me Jesus 
    on 
    the line 

    I 
    need 
    communion, 
    confirm
    ation, 

    absolution 
    for my 
    crimes 

    I 
    need a 
    charac
    ter 
    witness 
    Jesus 

    I think 
    I'm about 
    to die 

    My 
    whole 
    life 
    pass 
    before 
    me 
    when 

    the night 
    bus 
    passed 
    me 
    by 

    It 
    was 
    Verse 5
    3 O'clock 
    on the 
    murder 
    mile 

    When I 
    came 
    to 
    my 
    senses 

    And 
    my 
    only 
    death 
    wish was 
    that 
    I 
    had 

    A 
    sockful of 
    fifty 
    pences 

    A public 
    execution 
    that 
    the 
    whole 

    neighbourhood 
    could 
    watch 

    Or 
    just 
    a phone 
    box, 
    a phone 
    box, 

    my 
    kingdom 
    for 
    a phone 
    box 

    Verse 6
    If the con
    crete 
    and 
    the clay 

    beneath 
    your 
    feet 

    Don't 
    get you son 

    The 
    av
    enues 
    and 
    alleyways 

    are gonna 
    do 
    it 

    Just 
    for

    When 
    they've sucked 

    you in

    family 
    lonely

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
