[The Fratellis - Dirty Barry Stole the Bluebird lyrics]
He crossed the wires and flipped the bastard
He rigged it, he rigged it his face was ugly
And not so much as a hello or yellow
His favourite colour was black
Because he stole
It, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
And one fine day, now it was typical
I was wonderful he was critical
He lived down my street owned a Jaguar
No matter where you are that’s a girlies car
All around you he never seen a word
He's always out of work
He's never seen a word got no gyro
He didn’t need it though
He stole cars, ya know
Though he had the sneakiness to lie
Such a lazy way to die didn’t try
Well oh my
And all the girls were weepin when we said
That their bluebird days were dead go to bed
Oh instead
He stole it, he stole it
He crossed the wires and flipped the bastard
He rigged it, he rigged it his face was ugly
And not so much as a hello or yellow
His favourite colour was black
Because he stole
It, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
And we chased him right down
From the batting cage
So we could catch him up
Smash his pretty face bang bang bang bang
Where the bluebird at we were getting tanned
By an arm's band we sped away
Past the studio the cigarillo
And the fratellio we got wasted
Then we went to bed got the train instead
Though he had the cheekiness to lie
Such a lazy way to die didn’t try
Well oh my (well oh my)
And all the girls were weepin when we said
That their bluebird days were dead were dead
Oh instead oh instead
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
He stole it, he stole it
He crossed the wires and flipped the bastard
He rigged it, he rigged it his face was ugly
And not so much as a hello or yellow
His favourite colour was black
Because he stole
It, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
He swiped it, he swiped it
And we don’t care because we got
Us a payroll and banjo
And they can't drive us nowhere, no words
No hello or yellow
His favourite colour was black
Because he stole
It, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
La la la, la la la la la la, Laaaaa
