Brilliant Thieves lyrics

it's a sunny afternoon
I try to write a song
a little bit of this
and a little bit of that
on tape before it's gone
it sounds a bit like R.E.M.
and a little bit like Sting
mix it in a bucket
let' see what it might bring

all in all we're just brilliant thieves

it seems that something's missing
so we add a piece of Cure
but now it is not hard enough
we're changing that for sure
just a bit Metallica
and a little spoon of Clash
ready is the Fury song
o.k. transfer the cash

all in all we're just brilliant thieves
