Lyrics
"London Town is crumblin' down" said the 'Penny Post' reporter "Something's gotta be done 'bout the murderin' sc*m, there ain't no law and order" Woh-oh-oh In the gas-lit alleys 'n' the gin-soaked bars, linin' the streets of the ghetto In the whorehouses on the open roads, death lurks in the shadows Stop thief, stop thief, half a million people are running scared Stop thief, stop thief, and all we need's a hero To stand up to the gangs, and I know such a man Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Chasin' them scallywags offa the street Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace He can smell a rat a mile away, even if he can't see then Sixty thieves roll in their graves, wrestling with their demons (I said oh-oh-oh) (I said oh-oh-oh) Never force the hand of a highwayman, he'll put a bullet right through ya Relieve you of your valuables, and sell them right back to ya Stop thief, stop thief, stop in the name of the law Stop thief, stop thief, it's just a matter of time Before we see you hanging off the triple tree, courtesy of Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Chasin' those neanderthals offa the street Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Feelin' the heat There's a man outside with a horse and cart, the mob screams out for vengeance A couple of pints at the Hare 'n' Hounds, then it's off to the neck extension Stop thief, stop thief, they ain't gonna let ya get away Stop thief, stop thief, you shoulda known better Than to tangle with the boys in blue, and the man they call Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Chasin' those criminals offa the street Blind beak 'n' the bow street runners Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace Keepin' the peace...
