Burlgar — текст песни (The Damned)

b-side of Smash It Up 7" (Chiswick/Big Beat Records 1979)



(Vanian/Scabies/Sensible/Ward)

Here we go now!



I`m a villan I`m a rogue

I`ll nick your wallet or garden gnome

I`m a burglar I`m a cad

An open window I`m in your home



I`ll have your tools or kiddies toys

And I`m not safe - a joy of joys

I`ll be the gasman or a toad

I`ll have your telly or garden hose



While I`m scoping in the dark

I`ll strap your dog so he won`t bark

I won`t disturb your only dreams

But if you wake up there`s no screams



I`ll nick anything removable

From the QE2 to the toilet paper in the houses of parliment

I`ll even have the milk off your doorstep

Or the skin off a baby seals back



`cause I`m a real villan (played backwards)



I`ll steal the paper or the milk

Or warn your neighbours or the bill

I`m a stealer I`m a crook

Read about me in Mich`s book



Burglary is a life for me

Burglary is a life for me

People say that crime don`t pay

I drink champagne every day



And the good lord said `thou shall not steal`

There is only one path and that is the straight and narrow

It`s a bit too bleeding straight and a bit too narrow for my liking



Ok gov It`s a fair cop

Throw on the bracelets

Chink chink oh god I`m nicked



I sentence you to six months...

Take him away
