Mott The Hoople - Little Christine lyrics

(mick ralphs) The light in the bar came on The place was in a mess An hour before there'd been an awful scene Early on that day while matt was on the phone His long time friend took a fancy to his little christine Matt was in a state when i saw him later on Tried to cool him down but he was havin' none "i'm gonna fix him good", said matt in a chokey way Together we know the sound of a ready gun Well it must have been around eight When we both saw sam's hunched back Holdin' up a boarded bar room wall Matt soon altered that as he kicked sam to the floor Pretty soon the place was one big brawl Someone doused the lights Still the pumps blew Suddenly a voice caught in the night "whoever comes off best can only lose my hand Leavin' now you are welcome to your fight, you can have it". Well matt he co*ked his gun Fired towards that voice "i'd rather know you're dead" was his reply Christine breathed her last The bar was like a tomb Not a sound, except to hear sam call The light in the bar was on The place is in a mess An hour before there'd been an awful scene Early on that day while matt was on the phone His long time friend took a fancy to his little christine.
