Officer Xx Lyrics - Asian Dub Foundation

Canteen culture coloring the view 

From Hendon to Eltham, not following the clue 

Corruption instruction, the life blood of the blue 

The whole of the barrel is rotten and not just a few 

Evidence buried with a secret handshake 

Investigating officers on the double X take 

Lost records and notes, excuses half baked 

Screwed up A4 and this is no mistake 

Officer XX, it's time to liaise 

Let me introduce you to the brand new Krays 

No mention of the gangster 'Informer' is the phrase 

No communication in the 'In' and 'Out' trays 

MI5, them building up Combat 18? 

Nazi turnouts and the BNP in between? 

Running drugs for money for the loyalists? 

McPherson, how come you missed the whole a this? 

Defective constable, what you gonna say? 

Suspending our belief and still on full pay 

Chief Condone is safe, what did you expect? 

Who's up next? Calling Officer XX 

Spin doctors and editors engaged in a pact 

Information leaked out to cover up the facts 

Daily slack mail onto a nice little earner 

While another thousand cases still on the back burner 

Zero tolerance for Jack the Home Sec 

Running for cover 'cause him know we're after him neck 

Him a huff and him a puff Inna de name a de law 

When it come to the guilty him a man of Straw 

This shameful spectacle we can see clearly 

Conspiracy in practice now not in theory 

Heard all of de report and looked 

Over the whole a de text 

Time to step forward now Officer XX 

Defective constable, what you gonna say? 

Suspending our belief and still on full pay 

Chief Condone is safe, what did you expect? 

Who's up next? Calling Officer XX
