[Verse 1]

Sometimes you'

re better off 

dead
        
There's gun in

 your hand and

 it's pointing

 at your head
    
You think you'

re mad, too un

stable

Kicking in cha

irs and knocki

ng down tables
     
In a restauran

t in a West En

d town

Call the polic

e, there's a m

adman around

Running down u

nderground 
     
To a dive bar 

in a West End 

town


[Chorus]
     
In a West End 

town, a dead e

[Verse 2]

Too many shado

ws, whispering

 voices

Faces on poste

rs, too many c

hoices

If, when, why,

 what?

How much have 

you got?
         
Have you got i

t, do you get 

it, if so, how

 often?
    
And which do y

ou choose, a h

ard or soft op

tion?

  (How much do

 you need?)

You've got a h

Just you wait

We've got no f
