Burlgar

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
