Story behind the song

Distant Guns' EPs traditionally close with an anthem, and this epic, densely-layered celebration of the International Police Exchange Programme is no exception.

Lyrics

Last of a line of cunning swine

Out of the blue at first chance

Promotion, demotion, but no less devotion

No need to fill in the blanks



Led on by legacy, held back by Hennessy

Crashed an unmarked Impreza

Suspended, no pay, or go to LA

Maybe come back an inspector



There are good cops

And there are bad cops

And the unorthodox

DS Lestrade



A self-made man in man-made fashion

With a passion for taking down scum

This man with big collars changes sterling to dollars

And he gets on a plane to the sun



Now his profession is extracting confessions

Makes his own every day in a prayer

No fool like an old fool, especially an old school

DS in CSI: Nowhere



There are good cops

And there are bad cops

And the unorthodox

DS Lestrade*
