THE FRATELLIS LYRICS - Dirty Barry Stole The Bluebird

"Dirty Barry Stole The Bluebird"



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



And one fine day, now

It was typical

I was wonderful

He was critical

He lived down my street

Owned a Jaguar

No matter where you are

That's a girlies car

All around you

He never seen a word

He's always out of work

He's never seen a word

Got no gyro

He didn't need it though

He stole cars, ya know



Though he had the sneakiness to lie

Such a lazy way to die

Didn't try

Well oh my



And all the girls were weepin when we said

That their bluebird days were dead

Go to bed

Oh instead



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



And he chased them right down

From the batting cage

So we could catch him up

Smash his pretty face

Bang bang bang bang

With the bluebird and

We were getting tanned

by an armed band

He sped away

Past the studio

The cigarillo

And the fratellio

We got wased

Then we went to bed

Got the train instead



Though he had the cheekiness to lie

Such a lazy way to die

Didn't try

Well oh my

(well oh my)



And all the girls were weepin when we said

That their bluebird days were dead

were dead

oh instead

Oh instead



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh



He stole it, he stole it

He crossed the wires

And flipped the bastard

He rigged it, he rigged it

His face was ugly

And not so much as a halo oh, yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



He swiped it, he swiped it

And we don't care because we got us a payroll and banjo

(?) a halo oh yeah-lo

His favourite colour was black because he stole it, he stole it, he stole it, he stole it



Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh



La la-la, la la-la,

La la-la, Laaaaa
