So this is where he came to hide
When he ran from you
In a private detective overcoat
And dirty dead men's shoes
The pretty things of Knightsbridge
Lying for of Minister of State
Are a far cry from the nod and wink
Here at Traitors' Gate
'Cause the high heel he used to be has been ground down
F#sus4
And he listens for the footsteps
That would follow him around
To murder - my love - is a crime
Bsus4
But will you still love - a man out of time
There's a tupenny ha'ppenny millionaire
Looking for a fourpenny one
With a tight grip on the short hairs
Of the public imagination
But for his private wife and kids somehow
Real life becomes a rumour
Days of Dutch courage, just three French letters
And a German sense of humor
He's got a mind like a sewer and a heart like a fridge
F#sus4
He stands to be insulted
And he pays for the privilege
To murder - my love - is a crime
Bsus4
But will you still love - a man out of time
The biggest wheels of industry
Retire sharp and short
And after the dinner overtures
Are nothing but an afterthought
Somebody's creeping in the kitchen
There's a reputation to be made
Whose nerves are always on the knife's edge
And who's up late polishing the blade
Love is always scarpering or cowering or fawning
F#sus4
You drink yourself insensitive
And hate yourself in the morning
To murder - my love - is a crime
Bsus4
But will you still love - a man out of time
