Jamie T – Crossfire Love lyrics

This is out to the lost years parted
To the doom and the gloom boys
To the tell P.jd and Kelly to Bingul and all of the cage lot
And to all of the friendly faces
And to all of the family ties
And to all of my enemies hatred
I stand here and watch you with dilate eyes

She went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
He went

So much happened no tit for tat tapping
Got plucked from a stage in a Hounslow gaff rapping
Got stuck on a page in a rage of my book
Everywhere I went they stared so I looked
Went over the hills and far away
Ended up alone in all manner of place
Ended up alone with only my face
Looking in the mirror to recognise Jays
Got pills in the pocket and time to waste
A shit load of problems and a mind of a hate
A tic and a Bic and a violent shake
To get grits and fits and minor breaks
I looked up for faith then
Fell down to break
Spent a lot of time battling haggling the matter with the devil I make

She went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
He went

She clutched my hand in the Brixton Jamm
Then slammed another man in a foreign land
My heart sunk and I drunk and I understand
It's hard being rich in a poor mans land
Then my Ma got sick
And then so did you
On the level I'm a rebel I was battling the devil that's bedevilling you
She couldn't talk or walk or remember me
My frustration the patient the A&E
The correlation between the diagnostics team
Led me to believe it was her heart on her sleeve that
Got her caught in a rut and
Made her drink too much
The loss of two children outside the building when her Daddy shot that shotgun shot

She went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
He went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love

Then out of the blue seem to come to
Sitting with the devil that I definitely knew
He had news and clues for my point of view
He sold me up the river with the delta blues and I
Took a minute and stopped
I watch the sun come up
Thought of Matthew and Alex and if they still had it would they still give it up
Plus I owe it to them both to live a full life of love and respect for what they gave up
Call to connect to Lolly she picked up
All I could say is "I'm sorry" then choked up
Living in the old rock bottom life so downtrodden, rotten and fucked up
Can't stop stopping I'm not beyond nothing still living with the devil but the devil shut up

She went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
He went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love

Wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
He went wrang ba ba boom a crash bang wallop
And she shut up shop
Caught in the crossfire of love
Caught in the crossfire love
