Dead Men Tell No Tales (Jim Lea; Noddy Holder)
On the day we pulled the bank job Mugsy Baker, he stopped some lead He don't always pack the hardware but, We sure did need some bread
Everything was a-running smoothly All the folks were cool and calm Till some smart-ass, he came the hero And then he sounded the alarm
Dead men don't tell no tales, no deceit and no betrayals Their only time, time, time, is fading away Dead men don't tell no lies, they don't need no alibi's Their only time, time, time, is wasting away
Soon the building was surrounded Not a chance to make a break We was trapped and the cops were closing in Them bullets a-were no fake
As the good guy he lay there bleeding Me the bad guy, I started to retch Then old Mugsy, he caught a ricochet We were heading for a stretch
And dead men don't tell no tales, no deceit and no betrayals Their only time, time, time, is fading away Dead men don't tell no lies, they don't need no alibi's Their only time, time, time, is wasting away
In the holdup there was Mugsy Me and Benjamin the bear Mugs would rather go down fighting just, To save him from the chair
Dead men don't tell no tales, no deceit and no betrayals Their only time, time, time, is fading away And dead men, they don't tell no lies, they don't need no alibi's Their only time, time, time, is wasting away
