Friendly Fire

Lyrics：Ub40 Music：Ub40

We were partners in crime

Spending our days, serving our time

In the usual way

We went behind the lines

To even the score

I won the battle but you won the war

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a real high flyer

Then I was killed by friendly fire

A shot rang out

And knocked me flat

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue

I never did believe my assassin would be you

I got the message down the wire

That I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire

We were partners in crime

Spending our days, serving our time

In the usual way

We went behind the lines

To even the score

I won the battle but you won the war

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a real high flyer

Then I was shot by friendly fire

A shot rang out

And knocked me flat

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue

I never did believe my assasin would be you

I got the message down the wire

That I was killed by friendly fire

I used to be a gun for hire

Then I was killed by friendly fire
