Pretenders - Fast or Slow (The Law’s the Law) Lyrics

Songwriter: Martin Chambers

Producer: Chris Thomas

It's happening in your own back yard
But finding it is very hard
Sitting on the garden fence
Knowing which is your size
Just a case of common sense

Fast or slow, the law's the law
Doesn't matter 'bout the truth at all
The evidence before your eyes
(Your honor)
Countryman is honest
So you'll never hear the lies

Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)

It's open to interpretation
The recording of the conversation
Taken out of context so they say
(Your honor)
Countryman will get there
Make that always a way?

Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)
Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)

It's hit the fan, so pay the price
We're looking for the main with the right advice
The hunted hunter's gone to ground
(Your honor)
The end of the day the job is done
But he don't feel so proud

Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)
Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)
Countryman is on the case
Clearing up a big disgrace
(Your honor, your honor)
Countryman is on the case
Clear it up and kick it in your face
(Your honor, your honor)

(Spoken)
Order! Order!
(sound of sheep)
