The Madness

Deceives The Eye
Madness 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 successes soon gave me heart
After a while I could pick or nick or steal 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 in there
Then a fine summer's day, my mates and me Set off down the west end 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 '[Incomprehensible]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†Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Maybe, he'll forgive me for my youthful folly
But what will me Social worker say If, 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 Don't they understand? I'm from a broken home
I'll tell them, I'm the product of a broken home And I always went out on my own Was it too late to say, I'd pay And I'll never steal again till the end of my days?
Because I have no friends to call as such Money and possessions, I did not have much So I started to steal in order to get by The quickness of the hand deceives the eye
Deceives the eye
