He was a sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 
And he said that he'd never, never do it again 
And of course he won't (oh, not until the next time)

And he swore that he'll never, never do it again 
And of course he won't (oh, not until the next time)

He had an "accident" with a three-bar fire 
But that's o.k. 
Because he wasn't very happy anyway 
Poor woman 
Strangled in her very own bed as she read 
But that's o.k. 
Because she was old and she would have died anyway 
Don't blame 

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 
Because he'll never, never, never, never, never, never do it again 
(not until the next time)

Would you look into those "mother me" eyes 
I love you for you, my love, you my love 
You my love, you my love 
Jury, you've heard every word 
But before you decide 
Would you look into those "mother me" eyes 
I love you for you my love, you my love 
I love you just for you, my love 
Don't blame 

The sweet and tender hooligan, hooligan 
Because he'll never, never do it again 
And... 
"In the midst of life we are in death etc."
Don't forget the hooligan, hooligan 
Because he'll never, never do it again 
And... 
"In the midst of life we are in death etc."

Etc! etc! etc! etc! 
In the midst of life we are in death etc! 
Etc! etc! etc! etc! 
In the midst of life we are in debt etc! 

Just will you free me?
Will you find me?
Will you free me?
Will you find me?
Will you free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me, free me?
Jury will you free me?
Will you find me?

Will you find me?
How will you find me, find me, find me, find me, find me, find me, find me?
Oh etc! etc! etc! etc! etc! etc!

In the midst of life we are in debt etc!
