I just transcribed the lyrics to 'Framed', and thought I should post them here! Can anybody provide tabs?
Framed
Alistair Hulett, 1991
It doesn’t take too long to work it out
An undercover exercise went right up the spout
And someone had to wear it
They said it looked like Tim
The papers helped prepare it
And they laid the blame on him
He was framed by the secret service
Framed by the state apparatus
Framed in the corridors of justice
As clear as any slogan on a wall
Tim Anderson’s framed.
What credence could a jury ever give
To prosecution evidence that’s leaking like a sieve
And being plugged with verbals
Even as the case unfolds
Adjournment for rehearsals
While Tim Anderson got rolled
He was framed by the secret service
Framed by the state apparatus
Framed in the corridors of justice
As clear as any slogan on a wall
Tim Anderson’s framed.
Don’t you ever wonder
What’s behind this push
Maybe if he’d shut his mouth
And moved up to the bush
Then he’d be living free
Instead he chose to fight
Corruption in the system
And the coppers got uptight
He was framed by the secret service
Framed by the state apparatus
Framed in the corridors of justice
As clear as any slogan on a wall
Tim Anderson’s framed.
But I will not stand by and see
My comrade fingered by the powers that be
We’ll fight it in the courthouse
We’ll fight it in the streets
We’ll spread the call for justice
To everyone we meet
‘Cos he was framed by the secret service
Framed by the state apparatus
Framed in the corridors of justice
As clear as any slogan on a wall
Tim Anderson’s framed.
