It was the 14th day of winter and
The clouds were getting dense
I met a girl in a snooker hall
And she asked me for 10 pence
She said she
Had to make a phone call
To get hold of her man
When she asked me what I did
I said as little as I can
Uh-huh
You're just who I've been looking for
A partner to my crime
I got this little caper
I've been planning for sometime
Its all up for the taking
But it'll need two pairs of hands
Just take a look through this scrap book
And I'm sure you'll understand
Uh-huh
It never stops amazing me
The things we do for currency
But I promise I will change my ways
If I get out of this alive
Well its quite some undertaking
But its not a game I play
She said its too late for that
You've seen my plans
I can't let you get away
With that she whipped out a 45
And she led me to the car
A hundred miles an hour in a stolen TVR
Uh-huh
Well in half an hour we'd left the bank
And in an hour we made the coast
I cracked open a bottle and
Proposed ourselves a toast
I said well
Heres to strangers thick as theives
And to a day well spent
And I'll be on my way
When I get my fifty percent
She said its been a pleasure to meet you
But it really is a shame
'Coz I'm gonna have to kill you now
And I don't even know your name
My mouth filled up with thick red blood
As the bullet smashed my bones
I said let me introduce myself
They call me lucky Jones
It never stops amazing me
The things we do for currency
But I promise I will change my ways
If I get out of this alive
