Deceives The Eye - Madness (疯狂一族合唱团)
In the earliest days of my shoplifting career
You could safely say I was filled with fear
It was nail biting work from the very start
But several quick sucesses soon gave me heart
After a while I could pick or nick with ease
Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs
No-one ever stopped me they didn't seem to care
It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there
Then a fine summers day my mates and me
Set off down the westend on our usual spree
Things were as normal for an hour or so
Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow
Two store detectives made a fast approach
One grabbed my jacket (you're nicked )
The other grabbed my throat
So they caught me at last one said with joy:
＂You'll have to do some time my light fingered boy ＂
If only I'd remembered my common sense
They captured me red-handed with evidence
If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry
Maybe he'll forgive me for my youthful folly
But what will me social worker say
If I don't come home today
He'll give me a clout
What if they don't let me out
I told him I'm on me own
Don't they understand
I'm from a broken home
I'll tell them I'm the product of a broken home
And I always went out on my own
Was it too late to say I'd pay
And I'll never steal again 'till the end of my days
Because I have no friends to call as such
Money and posessions I did not have much
So I started to steal in order to get by
The quickness of the hand deceives the eye
Deceives the eye the eye the eye
