lyrics
Why did you do it? Hit that vicar.
I’ve stopped walking through locked doors
and your the only one I do it for.
I’m helping you through it but your getting sicker,
you’re not talking oh no more about your favourite guns and dinosaurs.
Cause you’re in a mask and a dressing gown
we’re robbing the last bank in the town.
I’m all dressed up but you’re falling down.
We’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Wearing the same shoes in all the photographs
and after your bad news .... some cards and daffs.
Arms over shoulders we’re squinting into the sun
I know that we’re older now, you’re still not having a real gun.
Death warmed up and a weeping clown
are robbing the last bank in the town.
You can’t stand up for falling down
we’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Wrong decision, that getaway, you drive.
I won’t believe it, don’t believe it’s true.
Long division, six into Renault five.
I won’t believe it, don’t believe it’s true.
How did I let you become like me?
Stories and postcards sent from Bermondsey.
So I bought a clown suit but you can see my face,
we’ll do it on Wednesday, get a parking space.
And I asked you how it should go down.
You said “Let’s rob the last bank in the town”
An oxygen mask and a dressing gown,
We’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Cause Wednesday week you won’t be around,
but we robbed the last bank in the town.
Just before they closed it down
we robbed the last bank in the town.
I’ve stopped walking through locked doors
and your the only one I do it for.
I’m helping you through it but your getting sicker,
you’re not talking oh no more about your favourite guns and dinosaurs.
Cause you’re in a mask and a dressing gown
we’re robbing the last bank in the town.
I’m all dressed up but you’re falling down.
We’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Wearing the same shoes in all the photographs
and after your bad news .... some cards and daffs.
Arms over shoulders we’re squinting into the sun
I know that we’re older now, you’re still not having a real gun.
Death warmed up and a weeping clown
are robbing the last bank in the town.
You can’t stand up for falling down
we’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Wrong decision, that getaway, you drive.
I won’t believe it, don’t believe it’s true.
Long division, six into Renault five.
I won’t believe it, don’t believe it’s true.
How did I let you become like me?
Stories and postcards sent from Bermondsey.
So I bought a clown suit but you can see my face,
we’ll do it on Wednesday, get a parking space.
And I asked you how it should go down.
You said “Let’s rob the last bank in the town”
An oxygen mask and a dressing gown,
We’re robbing the last bank in the town.
Cause Wednesday week you won’t be around,
but we robbed the last bank in the town.
Just before they closed it down
we robbed the last bank in the town.
