Friendly Fire Lyrics - Ub40

We were partners in crime 

Spending our days, serving our time 

In the usual way 

We went behind the lines 

To even the score 

I won the battle but you won the war 

I used to be a gun for hire 

Then I was killed by friendly fire 

I used to be a real high flier 

Then I was killed by friendly fire 

A shot rang out 

And knocked me flat 

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that 

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue 

I never did believe my assassin would be you 

I got the message down the wire 

That I was killed by friendly fire 

I used to be a gun for hire 

Then I was killed by friendly fire 

We were partners in crime 

Spending our days, serving our time 

In the usual way 

We went behind the lines 

To even the score 

I won the battle but you won the war 

I used to be a gun for hire 

Then I was killed by friendly fire 

I used to be a real high flier 

Then I was shot by friendly fire 

A shot rang out 

And knocked me flat 

Ain't no coming back from a lick like that 

I never saw it coming, it came out of the blue 

I never did believe my assassin would be you 

I got the message down the wire 

That I was killed by friendly fire 

I used to be a gun for hire 

Then I was killed by friendly fire
