lyrics

11:45

Dark clouds filled the sky, tumbleweed rolled though
Signalling the entrance of the stranger
Where had he travelled from? What was he here to do?
A sense of deep foreboding danger

A stoney grimace on his face, a mean look in his eyes
No one dared affect his dander
A trusty steed was not required, but that was no surprise
He turned up in a Fiat Panda

The townsfolk stood in silence
The stranger they'd just met
It would never be the same again
That day they won't forget

The townsfolk aghast
Some of the women cried
You can take away our hopes and dreams
And eventually you'll take away our pride

He said I'm here to make, some changes to this place
Who claims to be in charge should walk away
I hung my head, I shuffled back, tried to avoid his gaze
But he saw me anyway

I said at High Noon we must meet, I had to make a stand
I knew it's what I had to do
He said he was quite busy, with meeting he'd pre-planned
And could I make it quarter to

The townsfolk stood in silence
The stranger they'd just met
It would never be the same again
That day they won't forget

The townsfolk aghast
Some of the women cried
You can take away our hopes and dreams
And eventually you'll take away our pride

At 11:45am, we stood there face to face
Townsfolk lined the car park, with no sound
A single shot rang out, the bullet's lightning pace
I clutched my side and fell down to the ground

Considering my future laying on the floor in fear
With dignity and grace he walked away
It’s probably quite difficult to find a new career
So I’m still working there today
