Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
I should have seen this coming
Your hints were clear enough
I always thought that you were not that tough
Too bad I was mistaken
Too bad I had not fled
Too bad you threw your anger at my head
Lay down your sword and shield. Vacate this killing field. Please!
Do mute your battle cry; you got me down on my knees!
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Please don’t throw your fists at me
Or wait, one sec, let me put down my cup of tea
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Do I deserve this? I do not know.
There’s quite a lot I have forgotten
But a blow to the head
Blow to the head
Can do that
My doctor said
Should I start seeking refuge?
Sure you will strike again
You seek a punch bag; I am not your man
Three times the cock cleared his throat
Fog lifts up from the dew
Sun hits the gun that rises into view
Lay down your sword and shield. Vacate this killing field. Please!
Do mute your battle cry; you got me down on my knees!
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
Please don’t throw your fists at me
Bad luck; you hit me hard before I could duck
