Lyrics

Contraband

It is a big thing
Do not play it down
You are my people and I care about you
I'll have a pint of mud please
Thank you very much
Why would you do such an ugly thing to us?

I am confident
Yes, we will catch that lowlife
I will not make any more mistakes
Now that the world is watching

He took my briefcase
It had my whole life in it
I have never been more terrified today
I am sitting down
Listening to dance music
I am thinking thin but there's so much choice
And it's all nice

And I am confident
Yes, we will catch that lowlife
We cannot afford to let him get away again
This time we will get it right

I have one eye on the door
And I am thinking about it

Would you still love me if my hair falls out?
Would you make sure I don't do too much and die?
Are you feeling as good as I am?
You are unbeatable, do you understand?

I have one eye on the contraband
And the other on the door, and that's all
