Over The Wall We Go Lyrics - Soundtrack Exclusives & Rarities - David Bowie

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go 

Leave 'em a note saying 'wish you were here 

I know the best ways to break out of here 

I helped a young laddie called Ivan 

I bundled him over the wall last night 

Then he climbed back and he grabbed me tight 

He uttered some words that I can't say to you 

'Cause he remembered that he was a screw 

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go 

Leave 'em a note wishing 'Happy New Year'

My name is Henry though some say I'm thick 

I've spent half me life in and out of nick 

Me mum sends me presents to keep me in style 

Soggy old cakes and hundreds of files 

Now I sussed all them files I'm a clever young man 

Now I'm just stupid with manicured hands 

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go 

Nobody's left and the screw are in tears 

spoken: 

"Double 3, 427?" "Here, sir." 

"Double 3, 428?" "Here, sir." 

"Double 3, 429? Double 3, 429 - Where is he?" 

"He went out for a cup of tea at the local football match, sir." 

"Oh. well he might have invited me..."

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go 

Nbody's slept and the screws are in tears 

We tried digging tunnels but gave up the ghost just past the Kensington yards at the most 

Our limbs was aching, we felt pretty pooped 

Our clothes they was tatty, our arrows did droop. 

We crawled back to safety, our hearts filled with gloom 

'Cos we'd dug ourselves through to the smallest room 

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go 

Note wishing 'Happy New Year' 

spoken: 

[SFX: knock knock knock] 

"Hello, who is it?" 

"Double 3, 429, guv" 

"Oh, hang on a minute... 

[SFX: Doors opening] 

Hello sonny Jim 

Been wondering where you were 

Did you have a nice Christmas?"
