Jerry Leger - Jumped in the Humber Lyrics

JUMPED IN THE HUMBER

Jumped in the Humber
Or was he pushed
Bad deal gone down
Or just had enough
Read it in the papers
What was seen with eyes
Justice in the water
Or the truth here is blind


I know what nothing can buy
Loneliness on a stairwell of a long goodbye

The link is blotched
The father knows best
He gave up on his own happiness
The filament struggles
Something here’s gotta die
Take the fall for the future
Or grab the money and fly


I know what nothing can buy
Loneliness on a stairwell of a long goodbye


Clipped the shoulder
Trouble under the hood
The mayor fell in love
With more than he should
Oh, you’re hired if you know how to drive
Can you gun this sucker to the deep Eastside


I know what nothing can buy
Loneliness on a stairwell of a long goodbye


Moved his body
Said a prayer
Took his wallet before the cops got there
The air is full of whispers
The world’s filled with crime
It’s you or me or what’s his name
Gotta hang on the line


I know what nothing can buy
Loneliness on a stairwell of a long goodbye
