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.

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:
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.
("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.

Ooh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me,
Pockets floating
In the breeze.

Ooh, 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.
