Deceives The Eye

歌曲歌詞

In the earliest days of my shoplifting career

You could safely say I was filled with fear

It was nail biting work from the very start

But several quick sucesses soon gave me heart

After a while I could pick or nick with ease

Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs

No-one ever stopped me they didn't seem to care

It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there

Then a fine summers day my mates and me

Set off down the westend on our usual spree

Things were as normal for an hour or so

Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow

Two store detectives made a fast approach

One grabbed my jacket (you're nicked )

The other grabbed my throat

So they caught me at last one said with joy:

＂You'll have to do some time my light fingered boy ＂

If only I'd remembered my common sense

They captured me red-handed with evidence

If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry

Maybe he'll forgive me for my youthful folly

But what will me social worker say

If I don't come home today

He'll give me a clout

What if they don't let me out

I told him I'm on me own
