Steeleye Span - Bad Bones lyrics
[Steeleye Span - Bad Bones lyrics]
I want your money i'm gonna be rich
I'll tear the clothes off your back
Leave you without a stitch
Kidnap your children sleep with your wife
I'll stop at nothing to get me a better life
Cause, I'm bad to the bone
Steal your watch, or pick your pocket
If you're leaving home
Slam the door be sure to lock it
Bad to the core
Fleet of foot, and light of finger
If you call the law
I'll string you up, and then I'll skin ya'
I've got no stomach for working hard
My dice are weighted i cheat at cards
You try to shock me i'll shoot you down
I'd sell my mother for half a crown
Cause, I'm bad to the bone
Stеal your watch, or pick your pocket
If you're leaving homе
Slam the door be sure to lock it
Bad to the core
Fleet of foot, and light of finger
If you call the law
I'll string you up, and then I'll skin ya'
I'll romance with a lady of this town
But when she awakes, she'll find that I flown
With her money, her jewellery, her silver
Her gold by six o'clock this evening
It will all be sold
Cause, I want your money i'm gonna be rich
I'll tear the clothes off your back
Leave you without a stitch
Cause, I'm bad to the bone
Steal your watch, or pick your pocket
If you're leaving home
Slam the door be sure to lock it
Bad to the core
Fleet of foot, and light of finger
If you call the law
I'll string you up, and then I'll skin ya'
So here I stand before you
Prepared to meet my fate
Declared the public enemy
The very devil incarnate
Now this should be my reckoning
But it is not to be
They underestimated my power of threats
And bribery the verdict will be innocent
My tale will be believed
The jury have the choice to leave here rich
Or? Dulled
The judge is in my pocket, so are the police
I've every angled covered
And every palm greased
Here comes the verdict, not guilty!
See I live to see another day of vice
And villainy cause, I'm
Bad, bad, bad, bad to the bone
Steal your watch, or pick your pocket
If you're leaving home
Slam the door be sure to lock it
Bad to the core
Fleet of foot, and light of finger
If you call the law
I'll string you up, and then I'll skin ya'
Bad to the bone
String you up, and then I'll skin ya'
I'll tear the clothes off your back
Leave you without a stitch
Kidnap your children sleep with your wife
I'll stop at nothing to get me a better life
Cause, I'm bad to the bone
Steal your watch, or pick your pocket
If you're leaving home
Slam the door be sure to lock it
Bad to the core
Fleet of foot, and light of finger
If you call the law
I'll string you up, and then I'll skin ya'
I've got no stomach for working hard
My dice are weighted i cheat at cards
You try to shock me i'll shoot you down
