 THE FALL - Petty (Thief) Lout Lyrics

Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict
TV documentary that it produced


When he whistled in the street
The men would turn around in fear
Of being thought effete



Petty thief lout

s14 16421r1162321g 17m


Up the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
Crime



Hides records in his drawer at home
Especially when they are rare
Never gives 'em out to every Tom Dick & Harry
Who stole before from petty thief lout

s14 16421r1162321g 17m


Un the drain pipe
Rapid he did sprout
[Grey templates on us] he had to inflict



Suburbia holds
more than you care for


One must make sure
When leaving the house
Never to have white powder on the nose about



F-prints
F-prints on the fingers
Sprout


Great tempus onus
Suburbia holds more than you care for



Petty thief lout
