Kinks - The Informer lyrics

Isn't it strange meeting you here Two old friends Just sitting down quietly drinking a beer But knowing your past the way that i do After all this time i'm surprised You'd even come to this rendezvous They say you went and moved across the border So it's hard to believe That you're sitting here with me tonight I know you're on the run, you shouldn't be here But do you feel the fear When you meet an old friend and the enemy's near It's strange we always go to church on sundays After getting right out of it on a saturday night And if we stay here too long, i know that we'll quarrel And end up having a fight Just a couple of losers putting the world to right Just two people having a beer But on either side there is so much anger And so much fear Just two people trying to get by But we're torn apart Because of different pressures From different sides I hear you're on the run from law and order But you had to show up 'cos you knew it was a matter of pride But beliefs aside, religion apart Did you ever think about all the suffering you caused And all the broken hearts? The word is out that you are the informer Who gave me away without so much as a fight So be a good friend And let me take you quietly without a fight I'll be the one who's Gonna take you home tonight I'll be the one who's Gonna take you home tonight
