Nobody saw it coming,
nobody had to lie
Shots rang out on Chapel Street,
why did Jimmy have to die?
And the bells of Shoreditch rang
throughout the ceremony
Jimmy's girl stood by the gate
feeling so confused and lonely
Jimmy's dad, he didn't come
He'd gone off somewhere with his gun
To find the killer of his son
And the bells of Shoreditch rang
And rang and rang and rang and rang
And rang and rang and rang and rang
Nobody had the answer
Nobody saw a thing,
all that anyone would say
Is that blood will run in the street again
And the bells of Shoreditch rang,
as if to tell the story
Jenny's girl lit her flowers down,
feeling oh so melancholy
Jimmy's dad drove through the night,
he was looking for a fight,
didn't care if he was wrong or right
And the bills of shortage
rang, rang, and rang.
And the bells for Shoreditch rang and
rang and rang and rang and rang
And the bells for Shoreditch
rang and rang and rang
And and ran and ran
Ran and ran and ran
And ran
And the bells
They sure did ring
And ran and ran and ran
