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

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

[Verse 3]
As [Am]Jenny walked home all alone,
she felt scared
[Dm]Usually 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 scared?
[Am]Sirens sound in the distance
to the beat of Jenny's feet
A [Dm]symphony of the night
that echoes crime on London's streets
[Am]Jenny turns a corner,
when their eyes, they meet
Our [Dm]poor girl Jenny,

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

[Verse 5]
in high heeled shoes
[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'll see will be a boy called-"
Screech [Am]reached for the sheath
of the blade with the teeth
That could [Dm]bite through steel
and slice concrete
And he [Am]swung possessed,
with the devil in his chest
And the [Dm]statue that she was,
turned to butter within a breath

[Verse 6]
It was a [Am]quiet dark night on an empty street
Some[Dm]where 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 this floor
'Cause she'd [F]walked it
about a thousand times before
I guess that she es[Em]caped
and it's such a [F]shame
[Am]
