Officer Xx Lyrics

    Written by: das, pandit, savale, tailor, zaman


    Canteen culture colouring the view
    From hendon to eltham, not following the clue
    Corruption instruction, the life blood of the blue
    The whole of the barrel is rotten and not just a few
    Evidence buried with a secret handshake
    Investigating officers on the double x take
    Lost records and notes, excuses half baked
    Screwed up a4 and this is no mistake

    Officer xx, it's time to liaise
    Let me introduce you to the brand new krays
    No mention of the gangster- 'informer' is the phrase
    No communication in the 'in' and 'out' trays
    Mi5, them building up combat 18?
    Nazi turnouts and the bnp in between?
    Running drugs for money for the loyalists?
    Macpherson, how come you missed the whole a this?

    Defective constable, what you gonna say?
    Suspending our belief and still on full pay
    Chief condon is safe, what did you expect?
    Who's up next?
    Calling officer xx!

    Spindoctors and editors engaged in a pact
    Information leaked out to cover up the facts
    Daily slackmail onto a nice little earner
    While another thousand cases still on the back burner
    Zero tolerance for jack the home sec
    Running for cover 'cause him know we're after him neck
    Him a huff and him a puff
    Inna de name a de law
    When it come to the guilty him a man of straw

    This shameful spectacle we can see clearly
    Conspiracy in practice
    Now not in theory
    Heard all of de report and looked over the whole a de text
    Time to step forward now officer xx

    Defective constable, what you gonna say?
    Suspending our belief and still on full pay
    Chief condon is safe, what did you expect?
    Who's up next?
    Calling officer xx!
