Broadway and Hurst Lyrics

I'd like to introduce myself, I'm Nicholas Foster
I'm not the best looking guy you'll find
But I enjoy Kamel Reds and a good piece of Bocelli
And when I've had a few too many, I do things I regret

So I walked over to the bar to meet my friend

<i>Hey, Foster</i>

Yup, that's Mikey, pint in hand
Looking for any mischief he can find

<i>What's been up, mother fucker
I haven't seen you in ages</i>

I knew I shouldn't, but temptation got the best of me

Why do I do all these things to hurt you

<i>Foster, hear that asshole
His name's Ray
He says he's been seeing your lady in an intimate way
Says he beats her up, he says he treats her like a whore
He says he spits in her face, then she comes back for more

It's a lie, nonsense
He's full of shit
Mother fucker would be lucky if he could find his dick</i>

I was going to let it slide, turn the other cheek
But I overheard the bastard as he started to speak

<i>Got a new bitch, been a slut for a time
She was Foster's once, but now she's mine
And that poor old fuck
Heh, he doesn't even have a clue</i>

I'm going to kill him

Why do I do all these things to hurt you
Why do I hurt you, oh
Why do I do all these things to hurt you
Why do I hurt you, oh

Followed the fuck as he went to take a piss
Crept into the alley, fingers turned to fists
Stayed silent with my hands around his neck
I looked into his face and sunk the glass into his breast
A surge of blood, a moment passed
I couldn't think, I couldn't move
With every second waiting
There was something they could prove
Smiled, felt relief as his breath became shy
His body lay limp, I had taken his life

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no

<i>Oh, fuck
What have I done
There's blood everywhere, look at all this blood
Oh, God
I wonder how much money's in his wallet
How am I going to get away with this</i>

So I woke up like it was any other Sunday
I had me a cup of black coffee, read the paper
And had one of me favorite fags
Felt right as rain, until the phone rang

<i>Hello

Hello, Nicholas Foster

Who is this

This is Officer Sloan from the police department

Oh, Officer Sloan-

Where were you on the night of the 31st

I was... I happened to be-

Happened to be at a pub at Broadway and Hurst

No, I wasn't there, actually-

Do you know Ray Wells

Um, Ray Wells, Ray Wells
Doesn't ring any bells
The 31st I was out of town
Yeah, th-that's right, on business in fact
You see, I was with my bird, we're in love

Well, thank you for your time
I hate to bother you</i>

And they bought it

<i>Who is it

Freeze, mother fucker

I didn't do anything

Face on the floor

I'm innocent
I'm not getting on the floor

You shit murderer

You murdered someone and you know it

I didn't do anything
I'm innocent

We know it, and you know it

I didn't do anything

And you're gonna spend the rest of your life in prison paying for it</i>
