Squeeze - The Knack

Standing by the cue rack hat over his eyes
Smokes drifts slowly from him looking kind and wise
Seen him in the papers murder boy Malone
Heard the barman whisper something 'bout the phone
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now I'm shaking
'cos I ain't got the knack
Carlos see most cargo hands against the wheel
Slaughter in the warehouse bowling alley too
Look behind the jury scared to point at you
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now I'm shaking
'cos I ain't got the knack
Round and round the city taxis all fall down
Shot at in a Citroen east side of the town
Waffle in at Winnies tied between the bars
50 50 chances bulletproof ul cars
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now
I'm shaking 'cos I ain't got the knack
Standing by the cue rack hat over his eyes
Smokes drifts slowly from him looking kind and wise
Seen him in the papers murder boy Malone
Heard the barman whisper something 'bout the phone
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now I'm shaking
'cos I ain't got the knack
Carlos see most cargo hands against the wheel
Slaughter in the warehouse bowling alley too
Look behind the jury scared to point at you
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now I'm shaking
'cos I ain't got the knack
Round and round the city taxis all fall down
Shot at in a Citroen east side of the town
Waffle in at Winnies tied between the bars
50 50 chances bulletproof ul cars
Watch out on the corner standing by the rack
Little Gringo told her shot him in the back
Now I'm shaking yes I'm shaking now
I'm shaking 'cos I ain't got the knack

The Knack by Squeeze

This comes from The Complete BBC Sessions. What sets this apart from the UK Squeeze version is that Glenn Tilbrook takes the lead vocals, not Chris Difford. Photography by Diane Arbus. Enjoy.
