Framed Lyrics

I'm walking down the street mindin' my own affair
When two policemen grabbed me and I'm unaware
They said "Is your name Alexander?" and I said "Why, sure"
They said "You're the cat that we've been looking for"

But I was framed
I was framed
I never did nothing
But now I was, I was framed

The cops took me to a little room where the bright light shines
There was ten poor souls like me standin' in that line
I knew I was the victim of somebody's evil plan
When a stool pigeon looked at me an' said
"There's your man!"

But I was framed, framed
I was framed, framed
I was framed, framed
I never did nothing
But I was framed, framed, framed
Oh yes, oh yes

Then the public prosecutor started prosecutin' me
That man wanted to find what was my pedigree
He said "Where were you on the third of June 1963?"
Then them cats with their rubber hoses started givin' me the third degree

But I was framed, framed
I was framed
Framed, framed, framed
Well I never did nothing
But I was framed, framed

I was framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed
I was framed, I was framed, I was framed
Framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed, framed
I was framed
Framed
Well I never did nothin'
But I was framed

But I was framed
I was framed
I never did nothing
But now I was, I was framed

But I was framed, framed
I was framed, framed
I was framed, framed
I never did nothing
But I was framed, framed, framed
Oh yes, oh yes

But I was framed, framed
I was framed
Framed, framed, framed
Well I never did nothing
But I was framed, framed

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Ok, blues rock is blues rock. Except when it’s not. And i think this is a prime example of that.

What I’m trying to say is there’s tons of blues songs with similar structures; They use the same blues riffs, have a similar instrumental break, and the big finish. But thats just the skeleton of the song. The singer, lyrics, and instruments, on the other hand, are the meat of this blues specimen. They can turn an average blues rock song into something that’s alive. I don’t know much about Alex Harvey and his band, but they definitely did that here. The story he tells is pretty funny, too.

Also, if you really like this song check out Midnight Moses from the same album. Another great rocker from these guys.
