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 signal has been given

I go in

The crime begins

My excitement

Turns into fright

Oh-oh, oh-oh

All my words fade

What 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

Oh-oh, oh-oh

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 the safe up

Then all I know is I wake up

Covered in rubble, one of the rabble

Needs mummy

The government will never find the money

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's a ten-shilling note

Remember them?

That's when we used to vote for him
