Paul got broken into, about two weeks ago, by a nasty and villains person, called a burglar. And what did they take? They took the video. Video of course. Which for Paul was tent to mount stealing the crown jewels. Because Paul, he likes the TV

I like to watch

But anyway he took it and Neil… Sam and Neil wrote a song together, called The burglar. And I think, Neil, if you wouldn’t mind… finishing off and giving the people what the good person asked for

Wow, there’s a duck down there. Okay, it’s for Liam

A burglar came into my house and I got scared. But he said he was a nice burglar. And he was a nice burglar. He was supposed to go to jail, but he came to my house. Then he went home to have some lemonade

Now he will fall down from the roof when his mother calls him home. And she will bandage up his knees then. Sing quietly like a baby

A burglar came into my house and I got scared. And he said he was a nice burglar. And he was a nice burglar. He was supposed to go to jail. But he came to my house, then he went home to drink a keg of beer

They say I will set my ways. Takes a lot to move this mountain. I’m ready to settle back in my easy chair. Watch a bit of TV. Smoking up a cigarette. Make my… apologies, all the time. But it’s gone

I won’t give up, no. Dream

-
I had a dream. You were floating above. Raining down on me. Raining down on me. With the wight wings from hell, sure I can tell. Wight wings from hell, sure I can tell

She came oooh…. Out of the water. Into my horizon. I can chew, but I’ll remember coming in from a distance. She was burning out explosives. Burning down explosives

People don’t die, just cause they fit. Listen close, turn up head-set. Every stage is a little longer. I’m glad to say I’m still emotional. I’m still compositional. I’m still promotional. I’m still emotional

You know what I mean. You know what I mean, there’s Lynn. You know, I’m still promotional. You know what I mean. You know what I mean, you know I’m still emotional

I don’t like doing all the promotional. But I still try to be emotional. Do the promotional, ocenal, ocenal, oceanal… aaah
The money’s no object. Yeah, it’s a powerful thing. The way it moves us. Give the wings of flies. Their a pack of lies

Money’s no object. It’s a mysterious thing, when it chances us. Makes a stranger of a friend. At our will it will bend. Spend it. Spend it. Spend it. Ooh

-
Ice will melt. Water will boil. You and I can take of this mortal coil. Looking at us, you don’t have to worry ‘bout it

And ready or not, here comes God. He keeps on rocking when you know where you are. You know, it’s gonna come true. Here in your heart I remember
Let’s go

It's only natural, that I should want to be there with you. It's only natural, that you should feel the same way, too

Seen the Reds. Hmm, got rockin’. Seen the Reds. I’ve gone rockin’. Seen the Reds. I’ve gone rockin’
Aaah…
