Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's the fourteenth day of winter And the clouds were getting dense I met a girl in a snooker hall And she asked me for ten pence, she said she [Verse 2] Had to make a phone call To get hold of a man When she asked me what I did I said, "As little as I can," uh-huh [Verse 3] "You're just who I've been looking for A partner to my crime I've got this little caper I've been planning for some time [Verse 4] It's all there for the taking But it'll need two pairs of hands Just take a look through this scrapbook And I'm sure you'll understand," uh-huh [Refrain] Never stops amazing me The things we do for currency But I promise I will change my ways If I get out of this alive [Verse 5] "Well, that's quite some of the taking But it's not a game I play." She said, "It's Too late for that, you've seen my plans I can't let you get away" [Verse 6] With that she whipped out a .45 And she led me to her car A hundred miles an hour In a stolen TVR, ah-huh [Verse 7] Well, in half an hour we left the bank And in an hour we'd made the coast I cracked open a bottle and Proposed ourselves a toast, I said, well [Verse 8] "Here's to strangers thick as thieves And to a day well-spent And I'll be on my way when I get my Fifty percent" [Verse 9] She said, "It's been a pleasure to meet you But it really is a shame 'Cause I'm gonna have to kill you, now And I don't even know your name" [Verse 10] My mind filled up with thick, red blood As the bullet smashed my bones I said, "Let me introduce myself They call me Lucky Jones" [Refrain] Never stops amazing me The things we do for currency But I promise I will change my ways If I get out of this alive [Outro] If I get out of this alive
