    • Verse 1
    In 
    the 
    earli
    est 
    days 
    of 
    my 

    shoplift
    ing 
    ca
    reer, 

    You 
    could 
    safely 
    say 
    I 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    fear. 

    It 
    was 
    nail 
    biting 
    work 
    from 
    the 
    very 
    start, 

    But 
    several 
    quick 
    successes 

    soon 
    gave 
    me 
    heart. 

    Af
    ter 
    a 
    while 
    I 
    could 
    pick 

    or 
    nick 
    or 
    steal, 

    Some 
    shirts 
    some 
    trousers 

    and 
    a few 
    LPs. 

    No- 
    one 
    ever 
    stopped 
    me, 

    they 
    didn't 
    seem 
    to 
    care. 

    It sometimes 
    seemed 
    to 
    me 
    that 

    there 
    was 
    no- 
    one 
    there. 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    a 
    fine 
    summers 
    day 

    my mates 
    and 
    me, 

    Set 
    off 
    down 
    the 
    westend on 

    our 
    usual 
    spree. 

    Things 
    were 
    as 
    normal 
    for 
    an 
    hour 
    or 
    so, 

    Then 
    my 
    nimble 
    hands 

    were 
    a 
    bit 
    too 
    slow. 

    Two 
    store 
    detect
    ives 
    made 

    a fast 
    approach, 

    One 
    grabbed 
    my 
    jacket 

    (you're nicked!) 

    The other 
    grabbed 
    my 
    throat. 

    So 
    they 
    caught 
    me 
    at last, 

    one 
    said 
    with 
    joy: 

    "You'll 
    have 
    to 
    do 
    some 
    time, 

    my 
    light 
    fingered 
    boy!" 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    If 
    only 
    I'd 
    remembered 
    my 

    com
    mon 
    sense, 

    They cap
    tured 
    me 
    red- 

    handed 
    with 
    evidence. 

    If 
    I 
    go 
    to 
    the 
    manager 

    and 
    say 
    I'm 
    sorry, 

    Maybe 
    he'll 
    forgive 
    me 
    for 
    my 

    youthful 
    folly. 

    Verse 4
    But 
    what 
    will 
    me 
    social 
    worker 
    say, 

    If 
    I 
    don't 
    come 
    home 
    today? 

    He'll give 
    me 
    a clout! 

    What 
    if 
    they don't 
    let 
    me 
    out? 

    I 
    told 
    him 
    I'm 
    on me 
    own! 

    Don't 
    they 
    understand? 

    I'm 
    from 
    a 
    broken 
    home! 

    Verse 5
    I'll 
    tell 
    them 
    I'm 
    the pro

    duct 
    of 
    a 
    broken 
    home, 

    And 
    I 
    always 
    went 
    out 
    on 
    my 
    own. 

    Was 
    it too 
    late 
    to 
    say 
    I'd 
    pay, 

    And 
    I'll 
    never 
    steal 
    again 

    'till 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    my 
    days? 

    Be
    cause 
    I 
    have 
    no 
    friends 

    to 
    call 
    as 
    such, 

    Money 
    and 
    posessions I 

    did 
    not 
    have 
    much, 

    So 
    I started 
    to steal 
    in 
    order 

    to 
    get 
    by. 

    The quickness 
    of 
    the 
    hand 

    de
    ceives 
    the 
    eye. 

    de
    ceives 
    the 
    eye 
    the 
    eye 
    the 
    eye...

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
