Broadway And Hurst Songtext

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Nicholas Foster

I'm not the best looking guy you'll find

But I enjoy Kamel Reds and a good piece of Bocelli

And when I've had a few too many, I do things I regret



So I walked over to the bar to meet my friend



Hey, Foster



Yup, that's Mikey, pint in hand

Looking for any mischief he can find



What's been up, mother fucker

I haven't seen you in ages




I knew I shouldn't, but temptation got the best of me



Why do I do all these things to hurt you



Foster, hear that asshole

His name's Ray

He says he's been seeing your lady in an intimate way

Says he beats her up, he says he treats her like a whore

He says he spits in her face, then she comes back for more



It's a lie, nonsense

He's full of shit

Mother fucker would be lucky if he could find his dick




I was going to let it slide, turn the other cheek

But I overheard the bastard as he started to speak



Got a new bitch, been a slut for a time

She was Foster's once, but now she's mine

And that poor old fuck

Heh, he doesn't even have a clue




I'm going to kill him



Why do I do all these things to hurt you

Why do I hurt you, oh

Why do I do all these things to hurt you

Why do I hurt you, oh



Followed the fuck as he went to take a piss

Crept into the alley, fingers turned to fists

Stayed silent with my hands around his neck

I looked into his face and sunk the glass into his breast

A surge of blood, a moment passed

I couldn't think, I couldn't move

With every second waiting

There was something they could prove

Smiled, felt relief as his breath became shy

His body lay limp, I had taken his life



No, no, no

No, no, no

No, no, no



Oh, fuck

What have I done

There's blood everywhere, look at all this blood

Oh, God

I wonder how much money's in his wallet

How am I going to get away with this




So I woke up like it was any other Sunday

I had me a cup of black coffee, read the paper

And had one of me favorite fags

Felt right as rain, until the phone rang



Hello



Hello, Nicholas Foster



Who is this



This is Officer Sloan from the police department



Oh, Officer Sloan-



Where were you on the night of the 31st



I was... I happened to be-



Happened to be at a pub at Broadway and Hurst



No, I wasn't there, actually-



Do you know Ray Wells



Um, Ray Wells, Ray Wells

Doesn't ring any bells

The 31st I was out of town

Yeah, th-that's right, on business in fact

You see, I was with my bird, we're in love



Well, thank you for your time

I hate to bother you




And they bought it



Who is it



Freeze, mother fucker



I didn't do anything



Face on the floor



I'm innocent

I'm not getting on the floor



You shit murderer



You murdered someone and you know it



I didn't do anything

I'm innocent



We know it, and you know it



I didn't do anything



And you're gonna spend the rest of your life in prison paying for it
