Lively

歌詞

Now, "lively" is a funny word It means a lot of things But to the burglar people An urgent call it brings Cause' when they breakin' open safes Or nailin' up old vans Lively just means Scarper boys to all the different gangs Lively, lively, the night is going fast Lively, lively, we both got murky pasts Lively, lively, don't leave that block untied Cause' if you did it's a penny to a quip that we both end up inside! We broke into a spinster's house While she was known in prayer She was praying for a men What for? she didn't care We had to dive beneath the bed The dust pan there made us sneeze "Oh, that was quick!" the old girl cried and jumped up to her knees! Lively, lively, the night is going fast Lively, lively, we both got murky pasts Lively, lively, don't leave this block untied Cause' if you did it's a penny to a quid that we both end up inside! Now we rehearsed for days and days A smash 'n' grab to do "You throw the brick" one bloke said "And I'll leave the grab to you" The brick went through the window "Now grab! - they cried - "And quick!"

I sang this song once at a policemen' dance But I wasn't singing for coppers ....was a gangster While once I've run form the law I ran into a church I mixed with lots of people just to confuse the search I've found meself right at the front, the best place I could hide I had a fright when some bloke's said "Got ring? Here comes the bride!" Ooops! Lively, lively, the night is going fast Lively, lively, we both got murky pasts Lively, lively, don't leave this block untied Cause' if you did it's a penny to a quip that we both end up inside! The shop steward of our union, was up before the judge Who sent his name to 18 months asked if you lodged a grudge The maximum is twelve, me lord, the judge replied: "what rots?! You always wanted time in a half and that's just what you've got!" Lively, lively, the night is going fast Lively, lively, we both got murky pasts Lively, lively, don't leave that block untied Cause' if you did it's a penny to a quid I go blimey, it come ... (?) (different band member) Oh, Lord, ...! (another band member)... and here we go! (yet another voice)... here comes the copper!
