61 Minutes of Pleading Songtext
von Levellers

And as the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There′d be nobody coming, nobody's coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There′d be nobody coming

The call came in
Lorraine shot down
Her husband pulled the trigger
And then he blew his brains out

At the other end
The police took a call
They didn't believe
That he was dead at all

So they wouldn't help her
And she knew


It had been 20 years
Since they fell in love
He′s brought a lot of pain
But now he′s brought a lot of blood
And he's taken more
Than his share

"We can′t lose a life"
The officer said
"There's an armed man in there
Who′d be better off dead"
As Lorraine bled from the legs

And as the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody′s coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming

Speak to me now
But all she could say
Was I don't want to die like this
So they said they′re on their way

Lily heard
That she was Lorraine
So they didn′t let her die with even her name
As she left us all in pain


And as the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming, nobody′s coming
As the blood flowed, Lorraine knew
There'd be nobody coming
