SOMETHING'S GONE WRONG

from: Down From Above, 1990

[Verse 1]

Something's gone wrong

Something ain't right

They smashed through the window

On Saturday night

G D/F# G

And started big trouble

D G

In the quiet street

[Verse 2]

They were shouting hey Abdullah

Are you coming out to fight

Standing on the corner

In the yellow street light

G D/F# G

With sticks and stones and bottles

D G

With broken glass

[Chorus]

Well they know

They're gonna clean up the neighbourhood

Don't want no foreigners, oh no

Bm G

They gave it to him in the head

Bm G

Didn't wanna listen to what he said

They had a job to do

They had to see it through

Yes they had a job to do

And a cause to be true to

[Verse 3]

Something's gone wrong

Something ain't right

They smashed through the window

On Saturday night

G D/F# G

And started big trouble

D G

In the quiet street

[Verse 4]

The guy could not get away

Try as he might

Now he knows the story

Of black meets white

G D/F# G

And he's gonna tell his children

D G

All about it

[Chorus]

Well they know

They're gonna clean up the neighbourhood

Don't want no foreigners, oh no

Bm G

They gave it to him in the head

Bm G

Didn't wanna listen to what he said

They had a job to do

They had to see it through

Yes they had a job to do

And a cause to be true to
