The New Assassin - Radio 1 Live Version

Skip the roadblock here she comes
 Get a load of the pretty blue gun
 Any slick trick under the sun
 She'll do it if it isn't done
 She made arrangements she couldn't come
 She dresses like a secretary and lives like a nun
 Your crime is the radiant passion
 It's time for the new assassin
 Cool killer top of the class
 The other side of the shatterproof glass
 Works as fast as the cameras flash
 With the cyanide cigarettes and the cs gas
 It's her job - doesn't bat an eyelash
 She's working for the perishing mass
 The breadline's back in fashion
 It's time for the new assassin
 A melody played on a hand grenade
 From the rifle range in the green arcade
 As the rain fell down on the big parade
 Messed up the motorcade - mucked up the masquerade
 Secret weapons become displayed
 In the hands of half a dozen aides
 Just four men and a couple of gay blades
 Shantung suits and shatterproof shades
 Shoot up anybody who happens to be passing
 Everybody but the new assassin
 One link in the human chain
 In the city where it always rains
 No profit or personal gain
 Are the silent rules in a lonesome game
 One face in a purple frame
 A black border round the name
 Chalk marks around a blood stain
 Thin blue line red light flashing
 It's time for the new assassin
 What time did you see it happen
 It's time for the new assassin
