Em
Our story, it starts
A C C
Right to the end of the life of poor Jenny
B
Clocked out like Big Ben
Em A
This Screech, dear boy, where did he go
C B
He melted into the black night, just like snow

[Verse 1]
Em E F#
Patrick, man, let me in, please open the door
E G F#
I think I fucked up, Patrick, really fucked up, man, I’m not sure
E Em G F#
I got crazy, left a lady laying still on the floor
A B
I think I killed her, Patrick, come on man, I can’t knock no more

Em G E
But Screech kept on knocking, ’till his knuckles became sore
Em G
But there’s no sign of Patrick, down at number 54
Em G
No refuge for our villain, for the bitter hands of faith
Em B
Have something far more sinister in mind, that does await

[Spoken: Woman & Screech]
N.C.
Hello?
Hi babe, you in?
Nah, nothing really, I’m just a bit tired
Listen, can I swing around yours for a few minutes?
I just really miss you, babe
What the fuck you mean you’re busy?
You fucking bitch, for fucks sake

[Verse 2]
Em Em G
Sirens sound approaching like a Banshee in the night
Em Em G
The shrill cry of justice cutting like the sharpest knife
Em Em G
But Screech was never one to run, not one to miss a fight
Em Em B
One hand upon his blade, he turned to face the blue light
Em G Em
Come on then, you fucking cunts, lets fucking have you then
Em G Em
I am Screech, I’m the boss here, I’m the ender of men
Em
You think that uniform you’re wearing means that you own these streets
Em G
Well these are my fucking streets and they call me fucking Screech

[Bridge]
Em G F#
Richard was an officer, who stood at 6 foot 3
Em G F#
Working London on the night shift, what he didn’t think he’d see
Em G F#
Was a boy running at him, like an animal possessed
E6
With no time to hesitate, he fired four bullets at Screech’s chest

[Outro]
Em A
Our story it ends, right at the start
C B
Young Screech and poor Jenny, lying one street apart
Em A
An officer shaken, by the boy that he claimed
C B
Two body’s lay lifeless, and it’s such a shame
Em6
It’s such a shame
