Mr. Raffles Lyrics - The Best Years Of Our Lives - Steve Harley

Man, it was mean to be seen in the robes you wore for 

Lent you must've known that it was Easter 

There for a while, in your smile, I could see Mexico blood say 

"This is true I was a Teaser" 

There were a thousand! Man it has being exchanged for Pesetas 

Man! It was hard not to laugh out loud 

I couldn't believe the size of the crowd 

You must have fooled them into coming 

Wow! There were women and children, too 

They would have hanged us if they knew 

I think I know for certain 

Inside you sniggered so hearty, you only came for the party 

Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean 

Remember the time, what a time, we had down in Barcelona after you'd been slaying babies 

There, for a time, I was fooled by your disguises, but I never thought of smashing rules 

You wore the yellow bandana and gave out Heavenly Manna 

Then in Amsterdam you were perfect fun 

You never let on you had a gun and then you shot that Spanish Dancer 

The speed at which we ran for a mile or two, they would have crucified us if they knew 

I think I know for certain 

Inside you sniggered so hearty, we only killed for the party 

Man, it was mean, it was mean, Man, it was mean 

Man, show me something I've never seen, you're only real in your 

Dream Machine 

And all your games are a little drastic 

Just throw me out if I get obscene but that's the way that I've always been 

I think I know for certain 

Inside you sniggered so hearty, we're only living a party
