Tom Robinson Band - Sorry Mr. Harris lyrics

rate me

I'm sorry if the soldiers have to hurt you, Mr Harris

You haven't really left them any choice

This must be quite a trial

You haven't eaten for a while

I wonder what's the matter with your voice?

If you told us what you know it might be wiser

No need to knock your head against a wall

If you told us who you know it might be wiser

I think it might be better for us all

I'm sorry but we simply don't believe you Mr Harris

We've seen you with these people several times

I appreciate your pains

But we need to know their names

It would really take a load off all our minds

If you told us what you know it might be wiser

No need to knock your head against a wall

If you told us who you know it might be wiser

I think it might be better for us all

That fellow Mr Jones you were detained with, Mr Harris

I'm afraid we found him hanging in his cell

So I've asked your little brother

to assist with our enquiries

I hope he won't be difficult as well

If you told us what you know it might be wiser

No need to knock your head against a wall

If you told us who you know it might be wiser

I think it might be better for us all

I think it might be wiser if you told us

Then you have my word of honour you can go

I don't mean to twist your arm

W e don't mean you any harm

But it's really quite important that we know

If you told us what you know it might be wiser

No need to knock your head against a wall

If you told us who you know it might be wiser

I think it might be better for us all
