Looper - Columbo's Car Lyrics

We kept seeing columbo's car around

First of all we saw it outside burger king on byres road

Badly parked about five feet away from the kerb

And at the craziest angle as if he'd stopped there in a hurry

Then my brother saw it outside the place

Where the swimming pool and the badminton courts are

And later again i saw it parked outside the off-license

Closer to the pavement this time and parallel too

We only ever saw the car parked

But it always seemed to be outside somewhere i liked to go

And then when we went out for dinner on wee karn's birthday

And we were hanging our coats up on the coat-rack

We saw columbo's old mac already hanging there

In amongst all the expensive fur and leather and things

I had a quick look around while we were being taken to our table

To see if he was there but i couldn't see him anywhere

But then one night

While i was sitting outside on the steps

Playing my gameboy

I heard a car stopping on the gravel in front of me

And while i tried to decide

Which way 'round to put the l-shaped tetras piece

That was falling i felt someone sit down on the steps beside me

And i heard them scratching their head

And then on the reflection on the screen i saw that it was him

"those really are the most fascinating little machines" he said

But i'd built up a whole high pile which needed a single line

For down the side and i couldn't look up in case it came

"it certainly is nice around here" columbo said

And i heard his mac moving as he looked around

The single line i'd been waiting for didn't come though

And soon my screen was filled all the way to the top

So i put it down and asked columbo

If someone from around here had been murdered

"not murdered sir no" he said "i don't think you could call it murder"

"well what are you investigating?" i asked him

"well sir it's a case of counterfeit notes

Perhaps you'd call it theft but i'm not rightly sure

It's new for me i'll tell you that"

Then he picked up the gameboy and stared at it all fascinated

"could i? would you mind?" he said

And i showed him how to start up a game

But pretty soon the screen was full and he shook his head

"well well" he said

"you know mrs. columbo she's great at these sorts of things

But me i just can't seem to get the hang of them"

And he stood up and handed it back to me

"i'm sorry to have troubled you sir" he said

"i'll let you get back to your game

You know this really is a lovely area"

And as he walked off down the steps

I watched until he opened the door of his car

And i went to start up another game

But then he stopped "oh i'm sorry" he said

Holding one hand up in the air with a cigar between his fingers

And looking down at the ground "just a little thing" he said

And he scratched the back of his head

With the hand that had been up in the air

"with something like that sir that little machine you have there

Would someone be able to make samples with that

From records and stuff?" i laughed and shook my head

"that's fine sir" he said "i was just curious"

Then he got into the car and drove away

I didn't think i'd see him again after that but i was very wrong

I began to see his car around a lot more

Quite often outside the houses of people i knew

And not only that but just lately he's started turning up

Wherever i might be

Asking me all kinds of crazy questions

About technology and sampling and stuff

Pretending he's trying to learn all about it

It got me quite worried for a while but i think i'll be alright

I think i've got him foxed i think i've been way too clever for him
