Blood Brothers Shoes Upon the Table/July 18th Lyrics

[Narrator]
How swiftly those who've made a pact
Can come to overlook the fact
Or wish the reckoning be delayed
But a debt is a debt
And must be paid

[Mrs Lyons]
You do know what they say about twins secretly parted
Don't you?

[Mrs Johnstone]
What? What?

[Mrs Lyons]
They say
That if either twin learns that he was one of a pair
They shall both immediately die
It means Mrs Johnstone
That these brothers shall grow up
Unaware of the other's exsistence
They shall be raised apart
And never ever told what was once the truth
You won't tell anyone about this Mrs Johnstone
Because if you do you will kill them

[Narrator]
Shoes upon the table
And a spider's been killed
Someone broke the looking glass
There's a full moon shining
And the salts been spilled
You're walking on the pavement cracks
Don't know what's gonna come to pass
Now you know the devil's got your number
You know he's gonna find you
You know he's right behind you
He's staring through your windows
He's creeping down the hall
Ain't no point at clutching
At your rosary
You're always gonna know what was done
Even when you shut your eyes you still see
That you sold a son
And you can't tell anyone
Yes, you know the devil's got your number
He's gonna find you
You know he's right behind you
He's standing on your step
And he's knocking at your door
He's knocking at your door
He's knocking at your door

Ah do you wanna be my blood brother Eddie?
