[Verse 1] I just got outta jail today So I thought I'd go down to Bash St. way Selling nicked gear, on a market stall Flogging my ears to one and all [Chorus] Life of Crime Life of Crime I really love this life of Crime Life of Crime Life of Crime I must be hooked on this life of Crime [Verse 2] At night I go on a shopping spree Down the west end, with my skeleton key Watches, diamonds, gold and j**els I think to myself what bloody fools [Chorus 2] Life of Crime Life of Crime I really love this life of Crime [Verse 3] I pick a street, then choose a house Climb up the drainpipe, quieter than a mouse In through the window, then out through the door And then off down the steet, laughing once more [Chorus 2] Life of Crime Life of Crime I really love this life of Crime [Verse 4] But I think to myself as my heart then beats What's that noise in a far off street? Don't sound too friendly, so off I go Run down the tube station, 'bout half a mo Size 12 feet fill the midnite air As the boys in Blue come from everywhere A hand feels my collar, as the cuffs go on And you know what happens from there in on [Chorus 2] Life of Crime Life of Crime I really love this life of Crime Life of Crime Life of Crime Life of Crime (So It's back to prison to do my) Life of Crime (time, time, time) Do my time (time, time, time) Life of Crime (time, time, time) Ha ha ha ha
