Another oldie. Written quite a few years ago now when i was pretty intrigued about the personalities of the Mafia. The opposing concepts of loyalty to things like family, yet living out a life of crime

lyrics

Lift up you guns and get out
Livin all these crimes don’t make me bad
Look at my ma see her shine
She’ll have you round for tea and pour the best wine

Could I have been you instead
Waking with boredom in my head
Not able to cop of with any whore
The closest is your spag bol once more

Leave that gun and take the cannaloni now
“Sleep with the fishes” is not a water rhyme
Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia
Its all in the script but can all go wrong

Take that gun and leave the cannaloni now
Give me pin stripes and put my trilbee on
Satisfaction is stealing with the mafia
Its not in the script but we all are strong

If you’re a gangster who’s out on a date
Try not to get shot before after 8
A friend of mine’s a friend of yours
But who’s that friend of his behind closed doors

Say hello to my little friend
When I thought I was out they pulled me back in
Sammy bull and tommy machine gun
Can it all be real or is it fun

Leave that gun and take the cannaloni now
“Sleep with the fishes” is not a water rhyme
Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia
Its all in the script but can all go wrong

Take that gun and leave the cannaloni now
Give me pin stripes and put my trilbee on
Satisfaction is stealing with the mafia
Its not in the script but we all are strong
