Lyrics for Song: There Goes A Tenner
Lyrics for Album: This Woman's Work Anthology 1978 - 1990 [1999]
Okay, remember
Okay, remember
That we have just allowed
Half an hour
To get in, do it, and get out
The sense of adventure
Is changing to danger
The singnal has been given
I go in
The crime begins
My excitement
Turns into fright
All my words fade
Whet am I gonna say?
Mustn't give the game away
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We got the job sussed
This shop's shut for business
The lookout has parked the car
But kept the engine running
Three beeps means trouble's coming
I hope you remember
To treat the gelignite tenderly for me
I'm having dreams about things
Not going right
Let's leave in plenty of time tonight
Both my partners
Act like actors:
You are Bogart,
He is George Raft,
That leaves Cagney and me
("What about Edward G.?")
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
You blow up the safe
Then all I know is I wake up
Covered in rubble. One of the rabble
Needs mummy
("What's all this then?")
The government wil never find the money
("What's al this then?")
I've been here all day
A star in strange ways
Apart from a photograph
They'll get nothing from me
Not until they let me see my solicitor
Oh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me
Pockets floating
In the breeze
Oh, there goes a tenner
Hey, look, there's a fiver
There a ten-shilling note
Remember them?
That's when we used to vote for him
