The Sound of the Surf |
We hit the bank in Kings Street |
Walked in with shooters and masks |
And from the way in to the getaway |
Ah you could tell that we were popular lads |
They hit Bob with a parking cone |
Eddie split I don’t know where |
Left me running away with the money bags |
I don’t know how I got outta there |
I hitched a ride on a rocky old boat |
Went overboard at Boulogne |
I made a deal with a fisherman |
I drove his truck from there to the Dordogne |
At Bordeaux I exchanged the cash |
With a man who deals in currency there |
I flew from Spain on Iberia |
To the edge of South America |
Where the sound of the surf |
Rolls in my ears |
Bringin' me a peace |
I ain’t had in forty-five years |
Say hello |
To the people I know |
From the south side, north side of Pimlico Road |
Tell 'em all the sun’s shining here |
I should know |
'Cos I’m not going home |
All my friends are from the bad side of town |
We grew up in hard times it’s true |
We were stealing dreams |
Stretching the seams |
Turning every pound into two |
Oh but my limited skills |
With a short steel pin |
Led to a break in or two |
But I never got caught |
'Cos I got well taught |
«Do unto others, before they do you» |
And once or twice |
When the rain falls down |
And the winds starts whipping the sea |
In those rare moments |
When the girls are gone |
I think of my life |
And what used to be |
While the sound of the surf |
Rolls in my ears |
Bringin' me a peace |
I ain’t had in forty-five years |
Say hello to the people I know |
From the south side, north side of Pimlico Road |
Tell 'em all the sun’s shining here |
They should know |
That I’m not going home |
Oh no, I’m not going home |
Not going home, oh no |
Not going home, I know |
I’m not going home |
No way, oh no |
I’m not going home |
