STING - Love Is Stronger Than Justice lyrics

rate me

This is a story of seven brothers<br>We had the same father but different mothers<br>We keep together like a family should<br>Roaming the country for the common good<br>It came to pass one faithful day<br>We found ourselves down mexico way<br>The town, the mayor, the p.t.a.<br>Pleading on their knees with us all to stay<br>We'd only stopped for a few burritos<br>But they told us of the trouble with los banditos<br>A poor little town in need of aid<br>My brothers and me had never been afraid<br>The age of chivalry is not dead<br>Lomesome nights in a coyboy bed<br>There'd be a bride for every man<br>Who chased away the evil gang<br><br>Love is stronger than justice<br>Love is a big fat river in flood<br><br>The outcome was predictable<br>Our banditos were despicable<br>Of blood we lost a dozen litres<br>A small price to pay for las senoritas<br>The town mayor was happy but his face was glum<br>The maidens numbered only one<br>But there weren't seven brides for seven brothers<br>I knew I had to get rid of the others<br><br>Love is stronger than justice<br>Love is thicker than blood<br>Love is stronger than justice<br>Love is a big fat river in flood<br><br>Mother told me I was the clever one<br>The seventh son of a seventh son<br>It all ended so happily<br>I settled down with the family<br>I look forward to a better day<br>But ethical stuff never got in my way<br>And though there used to be brothers seven<br>There other six are singing in heaven<br><br>Love is stronger than justice<br>Love is a big fat river in flood
