In Time For A Crime is about an incident in Morocco
lyrics
In Time For A Crime
We went overseas
to get away too far
everything was going well
and you could easily tell
We went to the blue city
To check out the quality
Went for a mountain hike
They said its safe and nice CHORUS
Morocco was a lovely place
Never expected this to happen
We went off seeking adventure
Turned out not so well
We were miles from anywhere
With no one else around.
We didn’t know what to do
We just had to play it safe
So we saw him coming past us.
Looking odd and off centred
He was nimble and quick
Running down that mountain so quick.
.
All of a sudden, he was behind us
Telling us to take some pictures
He was after some money
And what I gave was not enough CHORUS
He had his knife out and asked for more
We knew then we `re in trouble
We had no weapons so we shouted
He left alone for a while.
Then say 20min went by
Then he came back and wanted more.
There still was no one around.
We didn’t know what to do.
Again, we shouted loud and louder
A lost classic of street soul is released at last! Recorded in the late ’80s, “This Is” is full of slinky basslines & silky hooks. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 8, 2023
