Lyrics
"A Cop's Job Is Never Done"
It was a friday afternoon
And I was sitting in my office at my desk , cleaning up some
old files
And I thought I'd go out for a drink just to finish off the week
cos it's been kind of frantic around here lately ...
As I walked in to the bar I saw this blonde
She looked kinda nice but I hadn't seen her around before
So I walked up beside her and I ordered a drink
And I turned around and I asked her for a light
And I looked in to her eyes
And she looked back at me
And she said
A Cop's Job Is Never Done
I said That's right
I said How did you know that Baby ?
She said
I used to sleep with one
Then she got up and left and I thought
What the hell was that ?
She really got my curiousity going so I thought
One thing
Friday afternoon
I gotta go home
But it's in your blood and when it's in your blood
you can't stop you just can't stop you just gotta keep
on following those leads , you gotta keep on looking
in to people's eyes and see what you can find out
Because
A Cop's Job is Never Done
So I followed her home
Up the road and round the bend
and she went in to the old tenement apartments
which used to be used for all kinds of illicit things like
drugs ans sex
And was a haven for the lowlife of the City
So then , What do you do ?
She go in to the door and I say
Well what am I going to do just sit here and wait
or .. go home and get some sleep ? cos God knows
I need it
So I went back to the bar and I pulled myself up a beer
and I sat down and I ordered a scotch
By this time I was so drunk I didn't know what was happenin
and just as I looked outside I saw her again
And I thought to myself .. you know I've got to follow
this woman because
A Cop's Job Is Never Done
Friday afternoon
I gotta go home
But it's in your blood and when it's in your blood
you can't stop you just can't stop you just gotta keep
on following those leads , you gotta keep on looking
in to people's eyes and seeing what you can find out
Because
A Cop's Job is Never Done
A Cop's Job Is Never Done
