There Goes a Tenner — текст песни (Kate Bush)

Okay, remember.

Okay, remember

That we have just allowed

Half an hour

To get in, do it, and get out.



The sense of adventure

Is changing to danger.

The signal has been given.

I go in.

The crime begins.



My excitement

Turns into fright.



All my words fade.

What am I gonna say?

Mustnt give the game away.



Were waiting.

Were waiting.

Were waiting.



We got the job sussed.

This shops shut for business.

The lookout has parked the car,

But kept the engine running.

Three beeps means troubles coming.



I hope you remember

To treat the gelignite tenderly for me.

Im having dreams about things

Not going right.

Lets leave in plenty of time tonight.



Both my partners

Act like actors:

You are bogart,

He is george raft,

That leaves cagney and me.

(what about edward g.? )



Were waiting.

Were waiting.

Were waiting.



You blow the safe up.

Then all I know is I wake up,

Covered in rubble. one of the rabble

Needs mummy.

(whats all this then? )

The government will never find the money.

(whats all this then? )



Ive been here all day,

A star in strange ways.*

Apart from a photograph

Theyll get nothing from me,

Not until they let me see my solicitor.



Ooh, I remember

That rich, windy weather

When you would carry me,

Pockets floating

In the breeze.



Ooh, there goes a tenner.

Hey, look! theres a fiver.

Theres a ten-shilling note.

Remember them?

Thats when we used to vote for him.
