Another Day in the Life of Mr Jones

It was the 14th day of winter and
the clouds were getting dense
I met a girl in a snooker hall
and she asked me for 10 pence
she said she
had to make a phone call
to get hold of her man
when she asked me what I did
I said as little as I can
uh-huh

You're just who I've been looking for
a partner to my crime
I got this little caper
I've been planning for sometime
Its all up for the taking
but it'll need two pairs of hands
just take a look through this scrap book
and I'm sure you'll understand

uh-huh

It never stops amazing me
the things we do for currency

But I promise I will change my ways
If I get out of this alive

Well its quite some undertaking
but its not a game I play
she said its too late for that
you've seen my plans
I can't let you get away
with that she whipped out a 45

and she led me to the car
a hundred miles an hour in a stolen TVR
uh-huh

Well in half an hour we'd left the bank
and in an hour we made the coast
I cracked open a bottle and
proposed ourselves a toast
I said well

heres to strangers thick as theives
and to a day well spent
and I'll be on my way
when I get my fifty percent

she said its been a pleasure to meet you
but it really is a shame
'coz I'm gonna have to kill you now

and I don't even know your name
My mouth filled up with thick red blood
as the bullet smashed my bones
I said let me introduce myself
they call me lucky Jones
It never stops amazing me
the things we do for currency
But I promise I will change my ways
If I get out of this alive
