David Bowie - Over The Wall We Go lyrics

Your rating:

Over the wall we go 

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go

Leave 'em a note saying 'wish you were here



I know the best ways to break out of here

I helped a young laddie called Ivan

I bundled him over the wall last night

Then he climbed back and he grabbed me tight

He uttered some words that I can't say to you

'Cause he remembered that he was a screw



Over the wall we go

All coppers are nanas

Over the wall we go

Leave 'em a note wishing 'Happy New Year'



My name is Henry though some say I'm thick 

I've spent half me life in and out of nick

Me mum sends me presents to keep me in style

Soggy old cakes and hundreds of files 

Now I sussed all them files I'm a clever young man 

Now I'm just stupid with manicured hands



Over the wall we go

All coppers are nanas

Over the wall we go

Nobody's left and the screw are in tears



spoken:

"Double 3, 427 ?"  "Here, sir."

"Double 3, 428 ?" "Here, sir."

"Double 3, 429? Double 3, 429 - Where is he?"

"He went out for a cup of tea at the local football match, sir." 

"Oh. well he might have invited me..."



Over the wall we go

All coppers are nanas

Over the wall we go

Nbody's slept and the screws are in tears



We tried digging tunnels but gave up the ghost just past the Kensington yards at the most

Our limbs was aching, we felt pretty pooped

Our clothes they was tatty, our arrows did droop.

We crawled back to safety, our hearts filled with gloom

'Cos we'd dug ourselves through to the smallest room



Over the wall we go

All coppers are nanas 

Over the wall we go

Note wishing 'Happy New Year'



spoken:

[SFX: knock knock knock]

"Hello, who is it?"

"Double 3, 429, guv"

"Oh, hang on a minute...

[SFX: Doors opening]

Hello sonny Jim

Been wondering where you were

Did you have a nice Christmas?"
