INTRO: VERSE 1: It’s Lucy in the sky and all kinds of apple pie She giggle at the screen ’cos it looks so green There’s carpets on the pavement and feathers in her eye But sooner or later her new friends will realise That Julie’s been working for the drug squad that Julie’s been working for the drug squad She won’t even look you in the eye VERSE 2: Well it seemed like a dream too good to be true Stash it in the bank while the tablets grow high In their millions and everybody’s high high high high man But there’s someone looking down from that mountain side ’Cos Julie’s been working for the drug squad ’cos Julie’s been working for the drug squad Gumbo CHORUS: Ten years for you nineteen for you and you can get out in twenty-five that is if you’re still alive Oh alive oh alive oh alive oh SOLO:    VERSE 3: And then there came the night of the greatest ever raid They arrested every drug that had ever been made They took eighty-two laws through eighty-two doors And they didn’t halt the pull till the cells were all full ’Cos Julie’s been working for the drug squad ’cos Julie’s been working for the drug squad BREAK: A VERSE 4: They put him in a cell they said you wait here You’ve got the time to count all of your hair You got fifteen years it’s a mighty long time You could have been a physicist but now your name is on the mailbag list Julie’s been working for the drug squad Julie’s been working for the drug squad Gumbo CHORUS: Ten years for you nineteen for you and you can get out in twenty-five that is if you’re still alive Oh alive

À propos de la chanson

La chanson raconte l'histoire de Julie, qui semble vivre une vie insouciante et pleine de promesses, entourée d'amis et de plaisirs. Cependant, il se révèle qu'elle travaille secrètement pour les autorités, infiltrant le monde de la drogue. Au fur et à mesure que l’histoire se développe, on voit comment cette double vie peut avoir des conséquences tragiques, où l'illusion de bonheur se heurte à la dure réalité de la loi et des décisions qui mènent à la prison. Les paroles évoquent un système judiciaire impitoyable et le sort des victimes d'une telle réalité, rappelant que même les choix les plus séduisants peuvent mener à des conséquences désastreuses.
