Slade - Dead men don't tell no tales lyrics

rate me

On the day we pulled the bank job

Mugsy Baker he stopped some lead

He don't always pack the hardware but

We sure did need some bread

Everything was running smoothly

All the folks were cool and calm

Till some smartass he came the hero

And then he sounded the alarm

Chorus

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away

Soon the building was surrounded

Not a chance to make a break

We was trapped the cops were closin' in

Them bullets were no fake

As the good guy he lay there bleedin'

Me the bad guy I started to retch

Then old Mugsy he caught a ricochet

We were heading for a stretch

Chorus

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away

Break

In the holdup there was Mugsy

Me and Benjamin the bear

Mugs would rather go down fightin' just

To save him from the chair

Chorus

Dead men don't tell no tales no deceit no betrayals

Their only time time time Is fading away

Dead men they don't tell no lies they don't need no alibi's

Their only time time time is wasting away
