  • I knew all along
    That I was right at the start
    About the seeds of the weeds
    That grew in your heart

    Self satisfaction for the factions
    Who formed to tear us apart
    Oh I gave you the Midas touch
    As you turned round to scratch out my heart

    Oh what did you expect?
    Oh tell me what did you expect?
    To lay it on my head?
    So is it all upon my head?

    Bang bang you're dead!
    Oh I'm so easily lead
    Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
    Put all those rumours to bed
    Bang, bang you're dead

    I knew all along
    But I was loathed to believe
    There was nothing but spite
    Fury and lies in the words that you weave

    Bring our illusion to a conclusion
    With all our unsold dreams
    Put it to bed, kick it in the head
    Oh won't they just let it be

    Bang bang you're dead!
    Oh I'm so easily lead
    Bang, bang, you're de-e-ead!
    Put all those rumours to bed
    Bang, bang you're dead
