Lyrics for The Burglar

Out tonight John, out tonight Out on the streets I'm watching your windows Lookin' for a way to get in Keep a lock on your television Or you won't be doing much viewing Trying your doors sliding down the drainpipes I come creepin' in the night Some people say it's not a living but even burglars gotta eat I believe in class distinction 'cause I only rob the rich I don't come from sherwood forest it all goes in my pocket When policeman come a chasin' lookin' for someone to nick They don't have a chance to catch me 'cause I'm up to all their tricks
