(heaton/rotheray)
vagabonds don´t fall in love
they just wheel and they deal
so if i turn a funny colour when you kiss me
i can´t help the way that i feel

hooligans don´t fall in love
they just break up others lives
so when i come to you on bended knee
don´t forget my twenty other wives

so why?
turn to a life of violence and crime?
so why?
why do you cheat and why do you lie?

because there´s always someone with a bigger car
there´s always someone with a bigger cigar
if you´ve been far
there´s someone who´s been further than your far
when you make your cart, you get to the start
there´s always someone in a faster cart
there´s always someone in a faster cart
there´s always someone in a faster cart

gangsters don´t fall in love
they just roam from town to town
so when we kiss and we hold and we whisper
please don´t ever write it down

hooligans don´t fall in love
they just lie and they drink
so if you say i won´t say ´i will´
then i won´t i think!

so why?
turn to a life of violence and crime?
so why?
why do you cheat and why do you lie?

because there´s always someone with a bigger car
there´s always someone with a bigger cigar
if you´ve been far
there´s always someone who´s been further than your far
at last you´re straight and you make a new start
there´s always someone with a better heart
there´s always someone with a better heart
there´s always someone with a better heart

but all in all we´re not so bad
we never take from our own kind
bad´s quite good when it´s all you´ve ever had
and no bloody good sounds quite refined
