Robert Calvert - 'Revenge'

Title track from 'Revenge', by Robert Calvert.

Robert Calvert - Lyrics and vocals
Pete Pavli - Piano
Simon House - Synth and violin

He went to Brooklyn armed with a Thompson gun
Ten magazines and his case weighed a ton
Booked a hotel room with a view of the street
Speakeasy bar room where the hoodlums all meet

He sat up till dawn
The sky was all torn
The sun was a slaughter of red
But he waited at the table before he went to bed
For the one with the stick pin
Who shot his daddy dead

Knelt with the parts spread on the hotel room floor
Cleaning and oiling when he heard the door
Called out "Who's that?" and a voice said "The maid."
Said "Come later, if you want to get laid."

He waited till ten
Then he saw them there
Four men in a Ford limousine
He fired through the curtain so he would not be seen
And got all four of them
And got away clean

Revenge is sweet
Revenge is sweet
You know
Revenge is sweet
Revenge so sweet
