ffs – police encounters lyrics
[intro: alex kapranos]
from the west coast, gonna take a plane
hit the east coast, gonna take an a-train
hit the east coast, going all the way
why don’t you come to harlem?
[verse 1: russell mael]
oh, this place we’d love to see
but i remained in harlem
had to pay my parking fees
felt just like pt barnum
caught a couple pinter plays
i should have stayed in harlem
then i heard a policeman say
“i think we should disarm him
i think we should strong-arm him”
so out of place in harlem
[pre-chorus 1: russell mael & alex kapranos]
then i see you standing there
with your dyed-black hair and no underwear
[chorus: russell mael & alex kapranos] x2
bom-bom diddy-diddy
bom-bom diddy-diddy

police encounters
[verse 2: russell mael & alex kapranos]
caught a couple albee plays
i should have stayed in harlem
then i heard a policeman say
“do your best, do not alarm him”
[pre-chorus 2: russell mael & alex kapranos]
i’ve got eyes for the policeman’s wife
in her dyed-black hair and a bowie knife
i’ve got eyes for the policeman’s wife
the policeman’s wife, the policeman’s wife
the policeman’s wife, the policeman’s wife
[chorus: russell mael & alex kapranos] x2

[verse 3: russell mael & alex kapranos]
unions went on strike today
but i remained in harlem
[pre-chorus 3: russell mael & alex kapranos]
i’ve got eyes for the policeman’s wife
in her dyed-black hair and a bowie knife
as i see her standing there alone
in her dyed-black hair and her android phone
