Raymond’s Shop Lyrics

Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
I used to buy my sweets and candy treats at
Raymond's shop
I used to pass there everyday
The time has come to buy a gun and hold up
Raymond's shop
It looks like I will be going away
Going down la la la
Going down la la la la la
It's been two years my minds not clear
I stop at Raymond's shop
It's boarded up he's gone away

The words got out and there's no doubt it came from
Raymond's shop
It looks like he will be going away
Play away ne ne nay play away
Its turned about its back on you
Your famous fifteen times by two
You ask around to find the truth
And all the fingers point at you
You're sick and low, my minds made up
You're 2 years down I'm back in luck
I wouldn't save you if you drown
I hope you like you're time gone down

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
