When we were at school I thought he had it sussed

Fighting the law with the rest of us

('Til) they started treating him like a fool

Then he stayed on his own for most of the time

Dreaming dreams of a life of crime
C F
In and out of trouble, he cheated and lied

But who'd have thought he'd join the other side

Down to Hendon with the boys in blue
