Okay, remember
Dm Gm
Okay, remember
F D#
That we have just allowed
Dm
Half an hour
D#
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
Gm Dm F Cm
My excitement
Gm Dm F Cm
Turns into fright
Gm F Gm F
All my words fade
G# Cm
What am I gonna say?
G# Cm
Mustn’t give the game away
F+7 Cadd9 A# Fsus4 F
We’re waiting
Cadd9 A# Fsus4 F
We’re waiting
Cadd9/5+ A#6 F6
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
Gm Dm F Cm
Both my partners
Gm Dm F Cm
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
Gm D# Gm
The government will never find the money
D#
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 Oh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me
Pockets floating
In the breeze
Oh, there goes a tenner
Hey look! There’s a fiver
There’s a ten-shilling note
Remember them?
D# F Dm
That’s when we used to vote for him
