Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
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
All my words fade
What am I gonna say?
Mustn't give the game away
ย
We're waiting
ย
We're waiting
ย
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
ย
We're waiting
ย
We're waiting
ย
You blow the safe up
Then all I know is I wake up
Covered in rubble, one of the rabble
Needs mummy (what's all this then?)
The government will never find the money (what's all 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's a ten-shilling note
Remember them?
That's when we used to vote for him
