lyrics

Right man wrong place wrong time

Verse 1
Burns and Graham, they were the same
They went to heaven at 37
He arrived here in March, April was mince
Hanged in the month of May
Yes he was hanged in the month of May

Refrain
Where God was preached by sword and rope
And common sense had not a hope
And the state was built on shifting sand
James Graham pleaded guilty to a vision of naivety
He should have stayed away and lived to 90

Chorus
Right man, wrong place, wrong time
Right man, wrong place, wrong time
Right man, wrong place, wrong time
Right man, wrong place, wrong time

Solo

Verse 2
This talented man took a stand
But got stabbed in the back by his own king
The great Montrose had a general’s nose
But the rats were all out to get him
They came up from the sewers to get him

Refrain

Chorus
