The Hostage Lyrics - Summer Donna

Lady: 

Hallo 

Kidnapper: 

Lady we've just kidnapped your husband 

Have $800,000 ready by tomorrow night 

and lady no police 

or you'll never see your husband alive again 

Lady: 

Hallo 

I remember standing there so petrified 

my hand frozen to the phone 

as a stranger's words that caught in my ears 

and chilled me to the bone 

Some dark tragedy had come right home to me 

they'd kidnapped my man and his life was in their hands 

CHORUS: 

He was a hostage, a hostage 

His life was at the mercy of their hands 

He was a hostage, a hostage 

His life depending on their gold demands 

Lady: 

Hallo 

Kidnapper: 

Lady, here's your husband through 

to warn not to play any games 

Husband: 

Hi honey listen I'm okay 

Just make sure you do whatever they tell you 

and whatever you do don't go to the police! 

Well I couldn't raise that kinda money fast 

so I was left no other choice 

so I called the police and they came in fast 

saying "leave it up to us 

just do as they told 

the ransom's in this bag 

we'll watch over you 

and we'll have your husband back too" 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Lady: 

Hallo 

Kidnapper: 

Listen very carefully lady 

Drive out to the abandoned shack on Highway 16 

throw the package of money out the window and keep driving 

and remember lady no police! 

Well my heart was heavy as I made that drive 

I was sure something was wrong 

I soon found the shack 

I threw out the bag and I just kept driving on 

Then the shots rang out and I turned my car about 

On the ground one lay but the other one had gotten away 

REPEAT CHORUS 

Lady: 

Well they found my husband a few days later 

Yes, the funeral's tomorrow
