48 Hour Parole
Hollies · Russian Roulette [2006]
to somewhere where it's warmer
First come will be first served
You'd better put in your order
Been out in the cold far too long
gonna set the town on fire (fire)
If you're not with me you better step aside
this boy's out for the kill kickin' higher
Oh 48 hour parole,
but I got to be a good boy
Oh 48 hour parole
Toein' the line ain't my style
and I ain't looking for trouble
I wasn't born I was carved out of stone
so don't try bustin' my bubble

verse 1
