lirik lagu the stealing arm – gilmore & roberts
i was brought up good and true but once i grew
got signed to fight upon the battle ground
i was six foot standing tall when a cannon ball
took my arm from the elbow down
a surgeon came to see asap
but en*route spied the body of a noted thief
with many bones cracked but an arm intact
so he spliced it on to me…
for a month it had no feeling through the trauma undergone
then it started to return gradually
it soon took back to stealing and from that moment on
i knew it would become the death of me
(chorus)
’cause it’s as broad as it’s long
singing the tune of the same song
though a life of luxury might seem appеaling
still it’s six of one and half a dozen of the othеr one
a ticket to the grave and an arm that won’t stop stealing
a ticket to the grave and an arm that won’t stop stealing
so the arm upon my right had fingers light
and it taught all it knew to the innocent left
it did so then instil the stealing thrill
consigning me to a life of theft
so down to the city i went with the sole intent
to expand in a perfect commandeering site
it was full of business talkers, daydream walkers
pockets heavy, heads light
taking all the things i ever wanted for my own
and living like a king or so it seemed
for the fortune of a thief to ever last was unbeknown
i knew it would become the death of me
(chorus)
i should have known a stealing arm was trouble from the start
i should have known that a fool and his money would easily part
i’m not a praying man but round my neck i find a noose
a rope so tight without a prayer of coming loose
i’d give anything now just to get down on my knees
’cause a stealing arm and this is six and two threes
although my arm was quick and although my arm was light
and although my arm was crafty thick and strong
it never was a match for the judge and all his might
’cause the arm of the law is just too long
(chorus)
a ticket to the grave and an arm that won’t stop stealing
