I only stole this 'love song' my love..

For you..

When you said that you wanted to sing along to a song so heartfelt and new...

And now I'm back in the dock up against the crown

A long drop to stir-pot

They tried to take away my comedown

Well a headshot that was a cheapshot from that lot

Now its bail - or jail bound

Oh jailer! Jailor!

I only stole this 'love song' my love..

For you..

When you said that you wanted to sing along to a song so heartfelt and new...

That's when they tried to bring the perforation down

Well a long shot that was

Magistrate gives me thumbs down

The trap door snap drop

A long drop to the old block...

Oh gaolor! Gaolor!

Jail bound...
