At Large

The grass is always greener when the sun shines
The charcoal's white hot and ready
Eagerly pouring effervescent wine in pleasant company
No one here knows you're legendary
At the last job left the bike behind
But a decade's passed and you've still not been found
Demand notes handed over silently then walked out with the money
Life was extraordinary and secret
You'd keep just what you needed
In case the notes were sequential
You're a lot shorter than your description on the tele
Cos you stood up tall walking out those doors with no panic at all

A desk job
Disappointing annual performance reviews
These don't suit you
Play squash on a Wednesday but never get the win
Cos you keep missing the lobs and you've got weak drives
Never told your wife
But thought about it twice

A deathbed confession won't work if you die alone
Keep your story in audio on your mobile phone

Still in wanted in Mansfield, Harrogate, Kelso and Leith
Daventry, Peebles, Linlithgow and Dumfries
Sought by the Halifax in Halifax and the Clyde Bank in Clydebank
Northern Rock's gone to the wall
But that was hardly your fault at all
Ulster Bank was a ferry too far
But you took ten grand from a branch in Stranraer
Still wanted in Seahouses, Inverness, Nelson, Burton-on-Trent
Colwyn Bay's Handelsbanken called your bluff
So you held up the petrol station
Maybe this year you'll tell someone
