Bonnie Clyde
PJ Harvey · Other Songs - PJ Harvey
You've heard the story of jesse james
Of how he lived and died
If you're still in need of something to read and find
Here's the story of bonnie & clyde.
It is
Clyde had a petite amie
She's beautiful her name is bonnie
Together they had left the st? ? arrow
The gang to b.parker and c.barrow
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
I've known clyde since he was young and care free
He was always ? ? and bright and clean
For he must see the ? ? society
Who drove me to a life of crime and misery
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
The newspapers ...
They said we play for cold bloody pleasure
That's not true but ....
To shot first and ask the questions later
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
If a ... killed in ...
And they have no suspect they can blame
For the police there's nothing mysterious
They hang on clyde barrow and his mistress
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
There's no .... to try to sit it down
To find a new house and quite down
By the third day there's a tac tac tac tac
Of machine gun who's making sneak attack
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
One of these days they will take enough
But I just hope that bonnie will survive
No I don't mind how they make me pay
Bonnie ... away
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
... that is no end
... to die
....
And they died bonnie parker and clyde barrow
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie and clyde
Bonnie Clyde
