Urthboy - Hey Juanita lyrics

[Verse 1] She never would've set foot in the Carousel Club If she'd known her steps took her up to where she got shot Wouldn't take a second look, look where she could end up Opposite upset crooks slamming that door shut Years later when the secretary came forward When nothing could be done with what she said she saw And the life of the woman gone lying on the floor The men standing over her the gun still drawn [Pre-Hook] Hey Juanita where did you go? We miss you and there's something that we want you to know You never left in our memory though it's so long ago We send search parties to look for your spirit And know you [Hook] Put your life on the line When they took you away from the light And they pretty much got away with it Yeah they pretty much got away with it When they dragged you west through the night It was not the time for goodbyes And we'll never let them get away with it No we'll never let them get away with it [Post-Hook/Bra** Solo] [Verse 2] The same men visited her five days prior To let her know that she was in the line of the fire Intended to abduct her but it didn't transpire Her friend got the door when they enquired They invited her to talk "We can chat" they said Last thing we want to do is put a bag on your head Paid by powerful enemies but she wasn't scared But she don't want to follow Arthur King's steps Tied up in a car boot, locked up in a cheap room That'd have to scar you, watch out who you speak to Juanita knew as King knew, just what they were up to At high noon, corrupt cops were the hired goons, friendly warning The kind that makes most stop talking Pack bags, get walking, bad things happen under moonlight Depending on what you write, friendly warning [Pre-Hook] Hey Juanita where did you go? Hey Juanita where did you go? We miss you and there's something that we want you to know You never left in our memory though it's so long ago We send search parties to look for your spirit And know you [Hook] Put your life on the line When they took you away from the light And they pretty much got away with it Yeah they pretty much got away with it When they dragged you west through the night It was not the time for goodbyes And we'll never let them get away with it No we'll never let them get away with it [Post-Hook/Bra** Solo] [Verse 3] You see, long before the battle wreaked havoc on Victoria St When evictions notices gave one week Three hundred people, leave where you live And they left, well at least most of 'em did They were supposed to disappear; this should've been clean They came in heavy handed and she described the scenes They knew it went to Askin, a premier who happened To work Hand in hand with Saffron Back then a bag man and bad men Their mate Theeman, developer who bought the public housing Overlooking Sydney Harbour, knew the place was worth a pretty penny He could make a k**ing putting up new apartments If only all the residents departed That's when the hard men come in Thugs come knocking while the cops are just watching Friendly warning, pay attention to the friendly warning [Bra** Solo Outro]
