Crossfire - Hollies

The judge he put me down for life because I was a stone 
They never got the money back because I never told 
Well half of twenty five went by before they set me free 
I know the game I know they play it they're gonna follow me 

Newspaper men crawl around with me say they want the storyline 
but I ain't gonna tell to them why I served the time 
I know the boys are waiting in the cafe across the way 
They wanna know where the money Where it is it's gonna stay 

Oh caught in the middle of a crossfire 
Gun on my left gun on my right Crossfire 

Well I ain't going nowhere 'cos I kinda like this place 
Until the heat cools down ain't gonna show my face 
I tried to get some sleep someone's ringing on the phone 
Why can't they all just go away and leave me alone 

chorus 

Just when I think I'm verging on the brink of freedom 
someone from the past turns to me and asks 
'Are you going somewhere If so then lead on' 

I don't pay no rent it's on the house I still got friends I found 
They'll all be on my good books when the time it comes around 
Till then I'll sit here patiently and bide my time each day 
and when I'm free and flying that'll be the time to pay 

chorus 

Crossfire
