It was the 14th day of winter and |
|
the clouds were getting dense |
|
I met a girl in a snooker hall |
|
and she asked me for 10 pence |
|
she said she |
|
had to make a phone call |
|
to get hold of her man |
|
when she asked me what I did |
|
I said as little as I can |
|
uh-huh |
|
You're just who I've been looking for |
|
a partner to my crime |
|
I got this little caper |
|
I've been planning for sometime |
|
Its all up for the taking |
|
but it'll need two pairs of hands |
|
just take a look through this scrap book |
|
and I'm sure you'll understand |
|
uh-huh |
|
It never stops amazing me |
|
the things we do for currency |
|
But I promise I will change my ways |
|
If I get out of this alive |
|
Well its quite some undertaking |
|
but its not a game I play |
|
she said its too late for that |
|
you've seen my plans |
|
I can't let you get away |
|
with that she whipped out a 45 |
|
and she led me to the car |
|
a hundred miles an hour in a stolen TVR |
|
uh-huh |
|
Well in half an hour we'd left the bank |
|
and in an hour we made the coast |
|
I cracked open a bottle and |
|
proposed ourselves a toast |
|
I said well |
|
heres to strangers thick as theives |
|
and to a day well spent |
|
and I'll be on my way |
|
when I get my fifty percent |
|
she said its been a pleasure to meet you |
|
but it really is a shame |
|
'coz I'm gonna have to kill you now |
|
and I don't even know your name |
|
My mouth filled up with thick red blood |
|
as the bullet smashed my bones |
|
I said let me introduce myself |
|
they call me lucky Jones |
|
It never stops amazing me |
|
the things we do for currency |
|
But I promise I will change my ways |
|
If I get out of this alive |
