Call The Police Lyrics

I'm done, shoot your gun,
i think it's time to take it back to where we started from,
your pain, my pain,
I'll write it down and tell you exactly how i feel again.

and all i see,
is a mass of confusion, who i am and what i gotta be,
yeah.

closed eyes, big lines,
i guess you'll tell me just to let it ride sometimes,
looks good, tastes bad,
makes me wonder where i buried all the dreams i had.

all I see,
is a less good version of a man i dont wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me.

yeah

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you'll be the first to walk away.

[chorus[
call the police,
coz i've lost control and i really wanna see you bleed.

i'm awake, why wait?
i dont need someone to tell me who to be today.
i'm quite sure, unlike before,
came off the road and i forgot what i was looking for.

all i see,
is a less good version of a man i dont wanna be.
all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,
well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.
when the shit comes down, you're the first to walk away

[chorus]

you can't just hack at me, you know,
you might just, have to let me go.
close in, i need some room to grow,
you dont, know what you're thinking of.
hiding behind you're pop sheet,
so you, can reck someone elses dream.

[chorus]

i cant do nothing, if i cant do something my way,

well i must be crazy if i follow every word you say.

when the shit comes down, you'll be the first to walk away.

[chorus]

all i feel,
is you tie me down to something that just isnt real.
all i need,
is some truth god help me,
before the devil buries me, yeah.

Nobody's posted anything yet?! This song is amazing! How he just snarls at the chorus, really makes it good... obviously he's mad or about to get really mad and is warning her to get help when she still can

I love this song! The lyrics are agressive but the music is mild in comparison, which is why I love it so much. It's his voice that makes the song. I love how expressive his voice is!!

I agree with the last post, it is really the artist and its voice that make this song beautiful and powerful. It's him who can't stand the situation anymore and for the first time he realisiez how much tiume he has lost behind the girl...

This song is awesome! It isn't about a girl though. I think it is directed toward someone in the music business who didn't want to allow James to do his own music his way. This song was his reaction. This is the only way it makes any sense to me.

Either way whether its about a girl or someone in the music business. The whole point is that SOMEONE is trying to make him into to something he does not want to become.He can't have that happen so he speaking out in a powerful way.

I Love not just this song but this artist his album is amazing, it deserves appreciation.Not just in the U.K but worldwide

I absolutely love this song. I could see it also being about a friend. I listen to this song when I'm mad at my friends for not being themselves and it helps me remember that I have to stay true to who I am. Love the guitar on the chorus!

My personal favorite... I think it's saying to get the HELL outta my hair before I explode.
