Burlgar Lyrics - Singles - The Damned

b-side of Smash It Up 7" (Chiswick/Big Beat Records 1979) 

(Vanian/Scabies/Sensible/Ward) 

Here we go now! 

I'm a villan I'm a rogue 

I'll nick your wallet or garden gnome 

I'm a burglar I'm a cad 

An open window I'm in your home 

I'll have your tools or kiddies toys 

And I'm not safe - a joy of joys 

I'll be the gasman or a toad 

I'll have your telly or garden hose 

While I'm scoping in the dark 

I'll strap your dog so he won't bark 

I won't disturb your only dreams 

But if you wake up there's no screams

I'll nick anything removable 

From the QE2 to the toilet paper in the houses of parliment 

I'll even have the milk off your doorstep 

Or the skin off a baby seals back 

'cause I'm a real villan (played backwards) 

I'll steal the paper or the milk 

Or warn your neighbours or the bill 

I'm a stealer I'm a crook 

Read about me in Mich's book 

Burglary is a life for me 

Burglary is a life for me 

People say that crime don't pay 

I drink champagne every day 

And the good lord said 'thou shall not steal' 

There is only one path and that is the straight and narrow 

It's a bit too bleeding straight and a bit too narrow for my liking

Ok gov It's a fair cop 

Throw on the bracelets 

Chink chink oh god I'm nicked 

I sentence you to six months... 

Take him away
