Sneakin’ Suspicion
Wilko Johnson
I jumped up this morning
Right out of a dream
The front door was wide open
And the rain was blowing in from the street
The whole house felt empty
And I was alone
I could hear somebody ringing
But I couldn't find my way to the phone
I pondered and puzzled
Why all this should be
I got a sneakin' suspicion
Someone's putting something over on me
Sneakin' suspicion
Creeping up inside of me
Sneakin' suspicion
Just won't let me be
- guitar break -
I looked for my baby
All over in town
I've never seen so many women
Since the day they closed the factory down
Midnight on the river
In the light of the flames
I'm staring at the water
And I'm trying to fit a number to a name
Sneakin' suspicion
Creeping up inside of me
Sneakin' suspicion
Just won't let me be
