Lyrics for 'Decieves The Eye' by 'Madness'
In The Earliest Days Of My Shoplifting Career,
You Could Safely Say I Was Filled With Fear.
It Was Nail Biting Work From The Very Start,
But Several Quick Sucesses Soon Gave Me Heart.
After A While I Could Pick Or Nick Or Steal,
Some Shirts Some Trousers And A Few Lps.
No-one Ever Stopped Me, They Didn't Seem To Care.
It Sometimes Seemed To Me That There Was No-one There.
Then A Fine Summers Day My Mates And Me,
Set Off Down The Westend On Our Usual Spree.
Things Were As Normal For An Hour Or So,
Then My Nimble Hands Were A Bit Too Slow.
Two Store Detectives Made A Fast Approach,
One Grabbed My Jacket (you're Nicked!)
The Other Grabbed My Throat.
So They Caught Me At Last, One Said With Joy:
"you'll Have To Do Some Time, My Light Fingered Boy!"
If Only I'd Remembered My Common Sense,
They Captured Me Red-handed With Evidence.
If I Go To The Manager And Say I'm Sorry,
Maybe He'll Forgive Me For My Youthful Folly.
But What Will Me Social Worker Say,
If I Don't Come Home Today?
He'll Give Me A Clout!
What If They Don't Let Me Out?
I Told Him I'm On Me Own!
Don't They Understand?
I'm From A Broken Home!
I'll Tell Them I'm The Product Of A Broken Home,
And I Always Went Out On My Own.
Was It Too Late To Say I'd Pay,
And I'll Never Steal Again 'till The End Of My Days?
Because I Have No Friends To Call As Such,
Money And Posessions I Did Not Have Much,
So I Started To Steal In Order To Get By.
The Quickness Of The Hand Deceives The Eye.
Deceives The Eye The Eye The Eye...
