Ub40 - Friendly Fire lyrics

We were partners in crime Spending our days, serving our time In the usual way We went behind the lines To even the score I won the battle but you won the war I used to be a gun for hire Then i was k**ed by friendly fire I used to be a real high flyer Then i was k**ed by friendly fire A shot rang out And knocked me flat Ain't no coming back from a lick like that I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue I never did believe my a**a**in would be you I got the message down the wire That i was k**ed by friendly fire I used to be a gun for hire Then i was k**ed by friendly fire We were partners in crime Spending our days, serving our time In the usual way We went behind the lines To even the score I won the battle but you won the war I used to be a gun for hire Then i was k**ed by friendly fire I used to be a real high flyer Then i was shot by friendly fire A shot rang out And knocked me flat Ain't no coming back from a lick like that I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue I never did believe my a**asin would be you I got the message down the wire That i was k**ed by friendly fire I used to be a gun for hire Then i was k**ed by friendly fire
