It all started way back then A lifetime of robbery down in the east end The jailbird's been freed to roam again I got no money It's easy to see what time has done to me A broken man without any stability It's the crime of the century It's the crime of the century Profession of violence don't mean much to me Whispers of a job Some things never change down in the southside This is my action i want a piece of it Safety deposit box The place i'm gonna nick it is up in knightsbridge This is my chance to get on my feet again
