There Goes A Tenner

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
