The Unfortunate Gent - Ed Drewett

Mama, I just killed a man

I ain’t fakin' like Freddie

God damn, I just killed a man

There I was minding my own business

When he just threw his stupid self right in front of my van

If there’s anyone can help me, you can

So how do we plan disposing of the body?

I’m too young to go to jail, mum

Ain’t I been a good son?

Since I left college

If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night

You know what to do, you know what to say

That I was tucked up dreaming of a better life

Mama don’t let them lock me away, no, no

Mama, I just killed a man

I ain’t fakin' like Freddie

God damn, I just killed a man

There I was minding my own business

When he just run right into the knife in my hand

If there’s anyone can help me, you can

So how do we plan disposing of the body?

I’m too young to go to jail, mum

Ain’t I been a good son?

Since I finished college

If the cops come knocking in the middle of the night

You know what to do, you know what to say

That I was tucked up dreaming of a better life

Mama don’t let them lock me away, no, no

I’m just an unfortunate gentleman

I’m just an unfortunate gentleman

I guess I’m an unfortunate gentleman

But I didn’t do it

Well, I didn’t mean to do it

You’ve always been so good to me, mum

And I blew it

But I don’t suppose it would be too much to ask

If they could find your prince on the wheel of the car

If they could find your prince on the grip of the knife

'Cause I just can’t imagine going down for life

I’m just an unfortunate gentleman

Going down for life

I’m just an unfortunate gentleman

I’m just an unfortunate gentleman

You gotta help me now

You’re next, sunshine
