Elkie Brooks - Back Away lyrics

Kids'd always tease him You know how they can be Mum and dad would leave him Father beat him constantly When he grew into a young man The girls would gather 'round No-one ever reached him He was too shy to ask them out The town was disbelieving Was it Luke that robbed the store Always such a nice boy Said the lady from next door How could he be so desperate To go with such a plan The devil must have got him Shouted father from the van (Back away from the door he cried) (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) (Back away from the door or die) He started out on vodka Sniffing glue to ease the pain Then he'd smoke a little crack Now it's h**n and c**aine (Back away from the door he cried) (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) Back away (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) Back away (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) Back away (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) Come on Luke, give it up (Back away from the door or die) For the sake of our unborn child They battered down the door She pleaded I'm his wife Nobody would listen, it was too late They took his life (Back away from the door he cried) (Back away from the door or die) Like it was nothing (Back away from the door he cried) They took his life (Back away from the door or die) (Back away from the door he cried) (Back away from the door or die) They took his life (Back away from the door he cried) Back away (Back away from the door or die) (Back away, back away, back away from the door) (Back away, back away, back away from the door) (Get back) (Back away, back away, back away from the door) (Get back) (Back away, back away, back away from the door) They took his life Get back
