Kick his head, smash his face & do a bunk with his brief case
Shoplifting for a lark, walk on the grass in the park
In the restaurant loads o' nosh, stuff yer face & leave no dosh
We are skint but we're alright, a different burglary each night
No little blue light, there's not a copper in sight no more..
CHORUS:
You can commit any crime you please
You won't get nicked in sunderland, the coppers are softies
They hide when there's a thief or rogue at large
When they get hit they run & tell the sarge... a bunch o' fairies
Rob a bank, get some bread or be a pickpocket instead
A torch a swag bag with a crow bar, gettaway in a stolen car
Break in to the town hall, spray graffiti on the wall
If you're drunk and disorderly, then Sunderland's the place to be
You won't get me, down werside contabulary
CHORUS...(guitar bit)
Run Buck naked in the street, there ain't a bobby on the beat
Raid the local jewellery store, no one to stop you break the law
The bobby's get sore, but there's no constables round here no more
CHORUSPartly owned two-door house
Wooden white picket fence
Mother waits for father
In a backless dress
Hardly used diaphram
Put back into his case
A one way trip down memory lane
As she awaits
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Children play in the yard
Mother stares at a wall
Father says he's gonna be back late
So don't wait up
About a quarter to three
Father stares at a wall
Stained thicker than water
Who's gonna clean it up?
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Partly owned two-door house
Wooden white picket fence
Mother waits for father
In a backless dress
Hardly used diaphram
Put back into his case
A one way trip down memory lane
As she awaits
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
I don't wanna know
Cheat me
