There Goes A Tenner lyrics
by Kate Bush
Ok, remember
Ok, remember
That we have just allowed half an hour
To get in, do it, and get out
The sense of adventure
Is changing to danger
The signal has been given
I go in, the crime begins
My excitement turns into fright
(Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!)
All my words fade
What am I gonna say?
Mustn't give the game away
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
We got the job sussed
The shop's shut for business
The look-out has parked the car
But kept the engine running
Three beeps means 'trouble's coming'
I hope you'll remember
To treat the gelignite tenderly for me
I'm having dreams about things not going right
Let's leave in plenty of time tonight
Both my partners act like actors
(Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh! Uh oh!)
You are Bogart
He is George Raft
That leaves Cagney and me
(What about Edward G.?)
We're waiting
We're waiting
We're waiting
You blow the safe up
Then all I know is I wake up
Covered in rubble
One of the rabble needs mummy
(What's all this then?)
The government will never find the money
(What's all this then?)
I've been here all day
A star in strange ways
Apart from a photograph
They'll get nothing from me
Not until they let me see my solicitor
Oh, I remember
That rich, windy weather
When you would carry me
Pockets floating in the breeze
Oh, there goes a tenner
Hey look there's a fiver
There's a ten-shilling note
Remember them?
That's when we used to vote for him
