Louis Dunford Smash & Grab Lyrics

People come, gather round, there's a tale must be told
As the bedlam of Brixton resounds through the cold
A young lad named Jack, only 18 years old
Is on the back of a ped with his friends

And the gan on Gileras tooled up to the teeth
The engines all blare as they tear through the streets
Like a murder of crows, they flock to the feast
As dark as the tide of the Thames

And Jack hears the voice of his mum in his head
Screaming "Gеt out while you can, son. You're bettеr off dead."
But too much has ben done, the shop's up ahead
He wants to run, but it's too late
So it's "Go! Go! Go!" Jack jumps to his feet
As the gang bring the peds to a halt with a screech
Machetes are raised as they scream through the street
"Get the f*ck out the way! Get the f*ck out the way!"

[Chrous]
And oh dear, Jack - what have you done, my son?
A smash and grab, your life had just begun
You're still so young, and now they'll take you down
Run, Jack, run

[instrumental] So Jack's in a state, it's all happening too fast
That the swing of a sledgehammer shattering glass
The alarms start to ring and the panicking starts
As outside a crowd gathers round

As the guard of the store gets a cosh to the face
He's thrown to the floor as they smash the displays
Throwing the Roleys and Tags into bags at the pace
Of his heart that has started to pound

Then it's "Run! Run! Run! Misson Complete"
Half a mils worth of a gear, now it's time to retreay
But the people outside are still blocking the street
And they try tackle Jack to the ground
So then one of the gang points a gun at the heads
Of the have-a-go heroes rushing the peds
But the lads are surrounded, Jack screams "It's the feds"
As the sirens are starting to sound

[Chrous x 2]
And oh dear, Jack - what have you done, my son?
A smash and grab, your life had just begun
You're still so young, and now they'll take you down
Run, Jack, run
