Vagabonds don't fall in love

They just wheel and they deal

So if i turn a funny colour when you kiss me

I can't help the way that i feel



Hooligans don't fall in love

They just break up others lives

So when i come to you on bended knee

Don't forget my twenty other wives



So why?

Turn to a life of violence and crime?

So why?

Why do you cheat and why do you lie?



Because there's always someone with a bigger car

There's always someone with a bigger cigar

If you've been far

There's someone who's been further than your far

When you make your cart, you get to the start

There's always someone in a faster cart

There's always someone in a faster cart

There's always someone in a faster cart



Gangsters don't fall in love

They just roam from town to town

So when we kiss and we hold and we whisper

Please don't ever write it down



Hooligans don't fall in love

They just lie and they drink

So if you say i won't say 'i will'

Then i won't i think!



So why?

Turn to a life of violence and crime?

So why?

Why do you cheat and why do you lie?



Because there's always someone with a bigger car

There's always someone with a bigger cigar

If you've been far

There's always someone who's been further than your far

At last you're straight and you make a new start

There's always someone with a better heart

There's always someone with a better heart

There's always someone with a better heart



But all in all we're not so bad

We never take from our own kind

Bad's quite good when it's all you've ever had

And no bloody good sounds quite refined
