Shozo Hirono

from Life's A Gas by The Tins

/

lyrics

Shozo Hirono, he was a friend of mine
And together we took up a life of crime
Then he went solo, but always kept his word

And the guys, he took them by surprise
Living in the dark behind his eyes
He knew, but what else could he do?

When we had nothing, we said we'd hit it big
Nothing hit back hard enough to stick
In desperation, we left it all behind

And arrived, wore a new disguise
Honor and humanity aside
We knew, but what else could we do?

Sometimes I remember what got us to this place
Maybe we'd know better than to trust a familiar face
But you can't seem to pin me down
I'm not that honest

Shozo Hirono, he was a friend of mine
Our sad relation never left my mind
But he had ambition and left me far behind

So one night, I took him by surprise
And got him in the space between his eyes
And I knew, but what else could I do?
