Well I worked on a site and I soldered up pipes 

And I still ended up with nothing left to show 

So I thought I'd give it one more go 

I met this bloke and I thought it was a joke 

When he asked if I had it in my heart to rob 

What he meant was a nice bank job 

So I thought I'd give it one more try, one final chance before I die 

I got me a gun and a ticket to the sun 



[Chorus]

And now I live in Marbella, the sun, the sand, I've got the lot 

And I live in Marbella coz I'd rather live there than not 



I met with the mob and we set up a job 

The ugliest bunch of gits you'd wanna meet 

In a pub down in Denmark Street 

Then I take to the wheel and we rob and we steel 

Without a hitch we're running out the door 

Coz the manager's my brother-in-law 

Then we're sharing out the dough, jump in a cab out to Heathrow 

Time for one more drink before I go 



[Chorus]



My apartment's cool, it's even got a pool 

Marble everywhere and a maid to change the sheets 

I make her come twice a week 

And I drink in the bars with T.V. stars 

Eastenders, Brookside, Coronation Street 

I've landed on my feet 

And my mates pop over from the Smoke 

For a swim and a sunbathe and some coke 

Money and friends, what a happy end
