Compulsive Gamblers - Two Thieves lyrics

rate me

<b>Two Thieves</b> by <i>Compulsive Gamblers</i><br />one was from the east the other from the west

and I don't claim to know either one of them's the best

but I know an angle man when I see one

your humour just as black as the bruises on your arms

what you lacked in skills you made up for with your charms

you said it was just some new infection

Chorus:

but if the two of you had met both your mothers would have wept

two peas in a pod or just two thieves

on the nod

you stole your education while the students were asleep

you laughed at history up in blankets and sank it in the deep

you said what's saved was worth perfection

you were my ambassador to a world that didn't care

bad luck on your side mirrored shades and dirty hair

when I look all I see is my own reflection

Chorus

well they twitched and they winked

you would show me we are thick as thieves

but you empty out my wallet and my ashtray as you leave

did you forget that I was your only friend ?

two months on the road and I don't know how to say good bye

maybe I should burry all those memories of you

but I don't ever want to see them die

Chorus
