Well I worked on a site and I soldered up pipes

And I still ended up with nothing left to show

So I thought I'd give it one more go

I met this bloke and I thought it was a joke

When he asked if I had it in my heart to rob

What he meant was a nice bank job

So I thought I'd give it one more try, one final
chance before I die

I got me a gun and a ticket to the sun

[Chorus]

And now I live in Marbella, the sun, the sand,
I've got the lot

And I live in Marbella coz I'd rather live there
than not

I met with the mob and we set up a job

The ugliest bunch of gits you'd wanna meet

In a pub down in Denmark Street

Then I take to the wheel and we rob and we steel

Without a hitch we're running out the door

Coz the manager's my brother-in-law

Then we're sharing out the dough, jump in a cab
out to Heathrow

Time for one more drink before I go

[Chorus]

My apartment's cool, it's even got a pool

Marble everywhere and a maid to change the sheets


I make her come twice a week

And I drink in the bars with T.V. stars

Eastenders, Brookside, Coronation Street

I've landed on my feet

And my mates pop over from the Smoke

For a swim and a sunbathe and some coke

Money and friends, what a happy end
