Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, they broke in my house without a sound
They took whatever wasn't nailed down
Police said, "What you need is a few more locks"
But it's just a joke, a game they play
Wait a month till the insurance pays
Then steal the next TV fresh out of the box
[Chorus]
You know everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Now everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
I said everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Now everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
[Verse 2]
Up a dark alley, feared for my life
A couple of chancers with a cosh and a knife
A couple of crackheads only looking for cash
They said, "Kneel down here, old man, will ya?
Just kneel down and we won't have to kill ya
Don't shout out and don't do anything rash"
[Chorus]
Because everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Now everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
I said everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Now everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
[Instrumental]
Now the taxman takes his good old chunk
The landlord the same for this pile of junk
And I pay the council, then they pay the bizzies
But the cops can't catch a bleeding cold
And all the excuses are gettin' old
My dog's the only one I can trust, or is he?
[Chorus]
'Cause everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
I said everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Yes, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
[Verse 3]
Now I had an idea once upon a time
I told my friend, he thought it was fine
He told his friend and his friend liked it too
Then his friend took it to his second cousin
Who makes these things by the umpteen dozen
That's when I realized, brother, you've been screwed
[Chorus]
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
I said everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Yeah, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me, ooh-hoo
[Instrumental]
Everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Now everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
I said everybody's stealing (bits and pieces)
Oh, everybody's stealing (Bits and pieces)
Yes, everybody's stealing bits and pieces of me
[Outro]
But the woman I love (Bits and pieces)
Well, bless her soul (Bits and pieces)
At least she only stole my virginity
That's what I told her
