lyrics

I Wish I'd Never

I keep myself to myself, I feel much safer
Didn't want my name in the morning paper
I didn't want my face on the evening news
But you made me an offer that I couldn't refuse
I wish I'd never listened to you. I wish I'd never listened to you

Always was a little bit easily led
Didn't hesitate when you called and said
'You can't make a living out of measuring luck.
This time next week you could give it all up'
I wish I'd never listened to you. I wish I'd never listened to you

Trusted all of your wayward plans
The cameras rolled as the money changed hands
Greed gushed out from every pore, I had it all but I wanted more

The contract should have erased my doubt
Seven per cent and a passport out
Seven per cent of a valuable oil
The centrepiece hanging in the public hall
I was part of the plan, a cog in a wheel
It didn't sink in, didn't seem real
I put the details back in the envelope
Took my first step on a slippery slope
I wish I'd never listened to you. I wish I'd never listened to you

Waited outside the museum all day
It was all going well 'til the rain stopped play
So we headed round to the penny arcade
To confiscate every penny they'd made

Didn't expect it to be so easy. Didn't expect it to go so well
Put one man down and the others soon ran
Into the range of the lookout man

Headed for the hills but we didn't get far
I was hiding in the back of the getaway car
Flashlights, cops, all over the place
Blinded, caught, with a gun in my face

I keep myself to myself. I feel much safer
Didn't want my name in the morning paper
Didn't want my face on the evening news
But you made me an offer that i couldn't refuse
I wish I'd never listened to you. I wish I'd never listened to you
I wish I'd never listened to you. I wish I'd never listened to you
