A Robbery Songtext
von Syd Matters

Three days in a bed for recovery
Two years in a cell for a robbery
27, I have seen a funny dancing little dream
Rising shivers on my skin and flying up above my pillow


Two hours with the summer rising mercury
15 minutes catching crickets from a rising tree
27, I have seen many summers on the screen
Many fires burning clean boulevards from my window

All you, servants at the door, listen to your king
Bow your head and be quiet as the emperor sings
27, I have seen both the Devil and the Queen
Going to Heaven on a green brush stolen from my kitchen
