Crime Time

Culture Club • Waking Up With the House On Fire (1984)

Death cab for cutie
Sung it like a beauty
Stepped out forgetting
Danger has a duty
Lonely night
He wants to squeeze her tight

They murder for a dollar
No-one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Out on the mainland
Hit him with a right hand
Stepped on his ego
Now he feels like a man
Do it right
It's a lonely fight

Playing Fats WallerJazz pianist & entertainer from the 1920s–40s. Famous for "Ain’t Misbehavin’" and his cheeky charm.
Lipstick on your collar
Back in 1950
People had their honour

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
Crime time

They murder for a dollar
No-one hears you holler
Wrap up your baby
Then you'll be a scholar

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking

Love stops knocking
Your heart stops rocking
It's crime time
