King Of Thieves (Album Version) - Elvis Costello & The Attractions[00:00:00]

I had forgotten all about 'the case of the three pins'[00:00:07]

They said I must be cracked[00:00:11]

Until the brown paper parcel[00:00:15]

Landed on my welcome mat[00:00:18]

Even the pretty secretaries[00:00:24]

Who wouldn't even let me hang my hat[00:00:27]

All recognize my handwriting[00:00:32]

And return to sender as a matter of fact[00:00:35]

If I were you I'd change my name again[00:00:40]

They don't care what they do to you believe me[00:00:44]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:00:48]

His occupation is the king of thieves[00:00:55]

He'll steal more than you can save[00:00:57]

You can take him on but you're not that brave[00:00:59]

I'll tell your fortune in a minute or two[00:01:10]

I might even tell you what comes next[00:01:13]

The moguls want a human sacrifice[00:01:18]

And look at that girl young hungry and perplexed[00:01:22]

They took away the best years of her life[00:01:27]

Ah but it's all in good fun[00:01:31]

And if you kept you nose clean[00:01:35]

You can laugh now at the caring things they've done[00:01:38]

If I were you I'd change my name again[00:01:44]

They don't care what they do to you believe me[00:01:47]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:01:52]

His occupation is the king of thieves[00:01:58]

He'll steal more than you can save[00:02:00]

You can take him on but you're not that brave[00:02:02]

I'll write this story down[00:02:09]

But you'll never guess the final twist[00:02:11]

Blow the whistle on the whole design[00:02:13]

As they find my name on that fatal mailing list[00:02:15]

I hear the clatter of a typewriter[00:02:19]

Another rookie eating up the reams[00:02:23]

I think it's time to put my feet under the desk[00:02:28]

And place my mark on another man's dreams[00:02:31]

If I were you I'd change my name again[00:02:36]

They don't care what they do to you believe me[00:02:40]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:02:44]

His occupation is the king of thieves[00:02:51]

He'll steal more than you can save[00:02:53]

You can take him on but you're not that brave[00:02:55]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:03:10]

And look at that girl look at that girl[00:03:14]

Look at that girl look at that girl[00:03:15]

Look at that girl[00:03:17]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:03:22]

And look at that girl look at that girl[00:03:26]

Look at that girl look at that girl[00:03:28]

Look at that girl[00:03:29]

This is the coronation of the king of thieves[00:03:35]
