Up The Bracket

I saw two shadow men on the Vallance Road
Said they'd pay me for your address, oh, I was so bold
I said you see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show
You's a way to mean no
Well they didn't like that much I can tell you
Said: Sunshine I wouldn't wanna be in your shoes
They chased me up two flights of stairs
Caught me in the lift how I sighed and said
Hello; 'cause you're impossible
But it's just like he's in another world
He doesn't see the danger on show
Wind up like Joseph bloody in a hole
And it's just like she's in another world
And how they suit each other, oh, no
'Cause you never get close
It's impossible
Saw the same two men on the Cally Road
Said now they'd double their offer, I was so bold
To say: You see these two cold fingers
These crooked fingers I show
Oh you's a way to mean no
But it's just like he's in another world
He doesn't see the danger on show
He'll end up like Joseph bloody in a hole
It's just like she's in another world
How they suit each other, oh, no
But you never get close
It's unstoppable
But it's just like we're all in another world
How they suit each other, oh, no
But you never get close
That's close enough now
