[Verse 1]
It was [Am]a quiet,
dark night on a empty street
Some[G]where in London [Dm]City
[Am]Jenny walked alone,
she was dragging her feet
She was [Dm]heading back home to sleep
Well, [Am]she knew this town,
she knew this floor
Cause she'd [Dm]walked it about
A thousand [Am]times [G]before
[Am]She wanted to escape, can you blame?
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
Well on the [Am]very same night
In a different place
There walked this hooded [Dm]blonde youth
By the name of James
He was [Am]14 years old and out of his brain
He'd been smoking
[Dm]ganja with the boys
[Am]James, he grew up to
be a kid of the street
His mates [Dm]called him Screech
He was quick on his feet
He was a liar,
[Am]a thief at fourteen years old
The devil [Dm]had set his [Am]sights on his soul

[Verse 3]
As [Am]Jenny walked home all alone
She felt scared
[Dm]Usu ally she was alright but it was like
There was something in the air
A di[Am]vine intervention telling her to beware?
Or maybe [Dm]intuition bugging her and
Making her so [Am]scared?
Sirens sound in the distance to
The beat of Jenny's feet
[Dm]A symphony of the night that
Echoes crime on London's streets
Jenny [Am]turns a corner, when their [Dm]eyes
[Am]They meet
Our [Dm]poor girl Jenny,
a boy named [Am]Screech

[Verse 4]
[Am]"Give me all your money bitch, give it to me
If you co-operate,
[Dm]then then you'll soon be free
I want your [Am]purse, your phone
Don't fucking look at me
I [Dm]mean it bitch,
are you [Am]listening to me?"
Jenny freezes, statue like
A lady shaped stalactite
Fear like [Dm]liquid nitrogen in the dark night
She tried [Am]to find strength t[Dm]o move
But stayed as still as a
Statue in high heeled [Am]shoes

[Verse 5]
[Am]"What the hell you playing at?
You playing games with me?
I [Dm]swear to fucking god
I'll slice the rosy off your cheeks
You think I [Am]don't mean it
Girl? You don't know me
The [Dm]last thing you see will
[Am]Be a boy called-"
Screech reached for the sheath of
The blade with the teeth
That could [Dm]bite through steel
And slice concrete and
[Am]he swung possessed
With the devil in his chest
And [Dm]the statue that she was
Turned to butter in a breath
[Am]It was a

[Verse 6]
quiet dark night
on an empty street
[Dm]Somewhere in London city
[Am]Jenny laid still on the cold concrete
She's [Dm]found somewhere to sleep
Well, she [Em]knew this town,
she knew [Dm]this floor
[Am]'Cause she'd walked it about
A thousand times before
I guess that she [Em]escaped, it's such a [Am]shame
