Lyrics
You’re looking for a safe house
Running from a shakedown
Someone’s on your tail, glance
Future in the balance
-
YEAH, YOU’RE ON THE RUN
-
Wild is your heartbeat
Splashing in the wet street
Stumble into dustbins
Cursing at your bruised shins
-
YEAH, YOU’RE ON THE RUN
-
Tense exhilaration
Sticky situation
Occupation chosen
Dangerous in motion
-
YEAH, YOU’RE ON THE RUN
YEAH, YOU’RE ON THE RUN
-
(music stops on the ‘bang bang’)
-
YEAH, THEY’VE GOT GUNS

My favourite Blunder Years B side, On The Run, used to be called Lucky/Unlucky and was about someone making a new start in a new city. However, I decided the lyrics were neither here nor there and chose to write about something similar.
What emerged was the story of someone being chased by the mafia for reasons unknown.
To be sung to the tune of a rocked up Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the gun blasts are in time with the 'Bang Bang', after which comes the payoff line 'they've got guns.'
Stay tuned for my next rocked up Chitty song, based on 'Toot Sweets' (Not!)
