Jack And Jill

I knew a man, a woman too, good hard working souls

You’ve heard the stories, read the myths of how they dug their holes

I promised them I’d tell the world and make them see the truth

That once they were - like you and me - only in their youth

They made a stand and brought their cause

Died upright not on all fours

Jack and Jill were murderers

I’m sure you’ve heard them say

Of how they pillaged and broke the law

But it was the law that did betray

In days gone by Jack worked so hard, just trying to appease

But life was tough and nothing helped and thus the law did squeeze

Every penny that he earned was given to the courts

\'Til one day he realised they do nothing but extort

Jill was a loving lass, of this they all agreed

A talented young writer girl and so she was envied

She met him in a bar one night and as the music played

They fell hard and fast and so began their own crusade

Jack and Jill were murderers

I’m sure you’ve heard them say

Of how they pillaged and broke the law

But it was the law that did betray

They sentenced him for petty theft and threw him in a cell

Whilst locked away inside of him vengeance came to swell

He said to Jill on his release, “Babe it’s you and me;

But know that lest we make a change we never will be free.”

A robbery in Austin, a death in Shelby Bay

\'Pin it all on Jack and Jill,\' you hear the lawmen say

Yet all they did was fight against a world on self-destruct

And to this day I never met a couple less corrupt

Jack and Jill were murderers

I’m sure you’ve heard them say

Of how they pillaged and broke the law

But it was the law that did betray

And in their hearts they knew from when first blood did spill

That this was it; the trail\'s end; the death of Jack and Jill
