Deceives The Eye by Madness

[Intro]
E B

[Verse 1]
E B
In the earliest days of my shop-lifting career
E G#
You could safely say I was filled with fear
A B
It was nail-biting work from the very start
E B
But several quick successes soon gave me heart

[Verse 2]
E B
After a while I could pick and nick with ease
E B
Some shirts, some trousers and a few LP's
A B
No one ever stopped me, they didn't seem to care
E B
It sometimes seemed to me, there was no one there

(Link)
C#m F#
Then a fine summers day my mate Ted and me
C#m F#
Set off down the West End on our usual spree
C#m A
Things were as normal for an hour or so
B
Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow

[Verse 3]
E B
Two store-detectives made a fast approach
C#m B
One grabbed my jacket, (you're nicked, haha!) the other grabbed my throat
A B
"So we caught you at last", one said with joy
E B
"Been after you some time, my light-fingered boy"

E C#m B C#m B A B E B

(Link Vocal)
C#m F#
If only I'd remembered my common sense
