JAM - Thick As Thieves lyrics

rate me

Times were so tough, but not as tough as they are now,<br>We were so close and nothing came between us - and the world -<br>No personal situations.<br>Thick as thieves us, we'd stick together for all time,<br>And we meant it but it turns out just for a while,<br>We stole - the friendship that bound us together -<br><br>We stole from the schools and their libraries,<br>We stole from the drugs that sent us to sleep,<br>We stole from the drink that made us sick,<br>We stole anything that we couldn't keep,<br>And it was enough - we didn't have to spoil anything,<br>And always be as thick as thieves.<br><br>Like a perfect stranger - you came into my life,<br>Then like the perfect lone ranger - you rode away - rode away,<br>Rode away - rode away.<br><br>We stole the love from young girls in ivory towers,<br>We stole autumn leaves and summer showers,<br>We stole the silent wind that says you are free,<br>We stole everything that we could see,<br>But it wasn't enough - and now we've gone and spoiled everthing,<br>Now we're no longer as thick as thieves.<br><br>You came into my life -<br>Then like a perfect stranger you walked away - walked away -<br>Walked away - walked away.<br><br>Thick as thieves us - we'd stick together for all time,<br>And we meant it but it turns out just for awhile,<br>We stole the friendship that bound us together.<br><br>We stole the burning sun in the open sky,<br>We stole the twinkling stars in the black night,<br>We stole the green belt fields that made us believe,<br>We stole everything that we could see.<br><br>But something came along that changes our minds,<br>I don't know what and I don't know why,<br>But we seemed to grow up in a flash of time,<br>While we watched our ideals helplessly unwind.<br><br>No - we're no longer as thick as thieves - no,<br>We're not as thick as we used to be - no,<br>We're no longer as thick as thieves - no,<br>We're not as thick as we used to be -<br><br>No it wasn't enough - and we've gone and spoiled everything<br>Now we're no longer as thick as thieves.
