henry bowers - a pocket or two lyrics

[verse 1]
people call me pickey – pickin’ pocket’s my profession
and i master my craft – do you have any questions?
i’m happy to demonstrate the tricks of the trade
sneak up on ‘em – do your thing and then be quick to evade
just the old in-and-out without even being noticed
except for the empty sp-ce the pockets of their coats get
but when they finally realize it i’ll be far away
you know – kind of on my way to try to find another prey
live to fight another day – that’s a motto that i follow
i’m still gonna grab some wallets when i’m coming back tomorrow
i ain’t dumb – i know my income kind of would
be more steady with a more secure livelihood
but i’m not in the mood for a job interview
‘cause my chances of getting it they are minimal
pick a pocket or two and remember the thought
it is not criminal if you never get caught

[chorus]
dressed like a slob – can’t get a job
ain’t got muscle like the rest of the mob
if you fit the description then i’m talkin’ to you
you gotta pick a pocket or two

[verse 2]
the devil dances in an empty pocket of course
i will try to fill mine with the content of yours
showin’ patience won’t get me far – motivational seminars
at the unemployment office only tame me and make me soft
“start off at the bottom – hope to get some prosperity
maybe as a trainee with next to no salary”
insanity – it’s time to get this here banana pealed
‘cause d-mn it feels like a hamster wheel so we don’t have a deal
i’m sick of all this – think i’ll stick to pickin’ pockets
the tricky part is just to figure how to pick your targets
but i think i’ve got it – first rule is elementary
don’t go for the scruffy looking coats – they’ll be empty
but also do not go for the fanciest jackets
their wallets got no cash – only carrying plastic
the rich get a free p-ss – yes the sh-t is twisted
godd-mned credit cards they are messin’ with my business

[verse 3]
some pick pockets in packs – but me i’m working alone
try to keep it more discrete – that’s how i earn what i own
the bump-into-technique is frequently exercised
but it ain’t for me – eventually you’ll be recognized
some create a diversion to get their target distracted
shove a hand into their pocket – then their wallet’s retracted
ok technique but it’s time consuming as h-ll
i’m just lightfingered – smooth and i’m moving in stealth
i tell you this felony ain’t for mentally daft
it takes one h-ll of a fella – it is a delicate craft
not here to dwell on the past but it ain’t how it used to be
the way of this digital age confuses me
i’m used to sn-tchin’ metal coins and paper bills
but nowadays it requires a new set of sk!lls
‘cause money moves into computers where they’re keepin’ it catalogued
soon all money is digital but my digits are -n-log
