He had her down in the cellar with a knife pointing at her throat He wouldn't let her go oh no, he wouldn't ler her go She kicked and screamed Someone heard through the walls from next door 'What's the crack? what's the score?' Next door neighbour gave a call No one answered, so the boys are coming The boys are coming for you They'll take you on a holiday Maybe to the seaside, maybe they'll just give you away They'll drop you off and say goodbye You're looking pretty dangerous You're looking pretty dangerous tonight And nobody knows just quite what you will do next So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you Coppers came heavy handed Closed the street and demanded us to stay at home today Oh you must stay at home today Calm him down, reassure him Leave the girl this is stupid, hold your hands up We'll get you through this, yeah we'll get you through this So the boys are coming, the boys are coming for you They'll take you on a holiday Maybe to the seaside, maybe they'll just give you away They'll drop you off and say goodbye You're looking pretty dangerous You're looking pretty dangerous tonight And nobody knows just quite what you will do next So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you
