And so it came
Not like any other game
Don't stand too close to the flame
Nothing ventured, nothing gained

We took the money and gone
A flight to Cologne or maybe Bonn
A suit made from mohair, a little flair
Some brill creamed hair, yeah

Up over the roof
A rope, a jimmy, something waterproof
Where eagles dare
A self proclaimed millionaire

Under a silvery moon
We couldn't finish the job too soon
A nod, a wink, an uncomfortable glance
The man from the Special Branch
"'Ello son"

I should have known (should've known)
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101 into the night
Before the daylight

We was having fun (having fun)
A little hit and run
One for all and all for one
And finish what we've begun

Was it all a charade?
A mistake to have stayed
Ain't them bars of gold a sight to behold?
A plan that was so bold

I should have known (should've known)
Something wasn't right
It's beginners 101 into the night
Before the daylight

We should have guessed (should have guessed)
Did it pass the idiot test?
It's beginners 101, just a burner phone
This bird has flown
