Stone blind alibi

I will eat the lie

Find the word

Could break any spell that binds you

Prayers like ammonites

Curl beneath the lights

How I long to

Bite any hand that feeds you more

Where d'it all go wrong

My Friday night enfant

Where d'it all go wrong

My Friday night enfant

All night busz on a line

It's only blood on the rime

Wrecks my head every time

It leads me on

Where d'it all go wrong

My Friday night enfant

Where d'it all go wrong

My Friday night enfant

Tonight tonight

Tonight I'm running wild I'm running

Tonight I'm running wild I'm running

Tonight I'm running wild I'm running

Tonight I'm running wild I'm running

Tonight I'm running wild

Text:

'At the time the murder was committed , I was travelling on the 8 o'clock train to London,' said the man

'Do you always catch such an early train' asked the inspector

'Of course I do,' answered the man 'I must be at work at 10 o'clock My employer will confirm that I was there on time'

'Would a later train get you to work on time' asked the inspector

'I suppose it would, but I never catch a later train'

'At what time did you arrive at the station'

'At ten to eight I bought a paper and waited for the train'

'And you -- didn't notice anything unusual'

 'Of course not'

'I suggest,' said the inspector, 'that you are not telling the truth I suggest that you did not catch the 8 o'clock train, but that you caught the 825 which would still get you to work on time You see, on the morning of the murder, the 8 o'clock train did not run at all It broke down at Ferngreen station and was taken off the line'
