lyrics

We waited until they went home, before we broke into the shop
But then the phone just started ringing, and the phone just kept on ringing
We thought it might not stop
It got easier as I got older with each job a grand a pop
But I never forgot the first one, no I never forgot the first time
In that little corner shop

Never wanted to be a bad boy, I never wanted to be a bad boy
Wish I’d done what my mother said

And then the big one came along, we thought we had them on the hop
Because we fixed the slow down signal, yes we fixed the bloody signal
And the mail train had to stop

But you never ever, ever get away, no you never ever, really get away

Here near the Copacabana, where the cocktails never flop
But the newspapers keep calling, yes the phone just keeps on ringing
The phone just keeps on ringing. I don’t think it’s going to stop

Never wanted to be a bad boy, I never wanted to be a bad boy,
I never wanted to be a bad boy,
Wish I’d done what my mother said
