I Only Stole What I Needed

from Down The Bright Stream by Vinny Peculiar

/

lyrics

A bag of nails and a Stanley knife
Some washing up liquid and a copper pipe
Bread and milk and mineral water
Nappies for my baby daughter
Bic razors and shaving cream
TCP mouthwash and Vaseline
A penknife and some Tea Bags
Chocolate frogs n dirty mags

Lifebuoy soap and budgie seed
Pet food and an extension lead
Oranges and new potatoes
Carpet tacks and masking tape
Lemon grass and coriander
Cream eggs and jiffy bags
Milk and honey bread and jam
A birthday card and a tin of spam

I never got caught I or gave it much thought anyway
I count all my blessings at the end of every day

Plastic cups and paper plates
Barbecue coal Christmas dates
Plant food joss sticks
Socks and pants and rich tea biscuits
Chimneystacks and paper planes
Sticky Fingers and Sweet Janes
Beatles chords Bowie lines
Since when has steeling been a crime?

I only stole what I needed
Stole what I needed

I only stole what I needed
I only stole what I needed
I only stole what I needed
I only stole what I needed
To get by
