Hi All,
Here's my competition collaboration entry submission. It's the story of a hold up in a shop with a twist
This started life as one of Binladeda's backing tracks, we added another section, PaulyX came up with the lyrics with a fine twist and vocals, Skub created some of his wonderful multi layered backing vocals, some baritone and lead guitar and me, well I just had to whip all those reprobates into shape - Damn hard work I can tell you
Now do as I say and just put the money in the bag.......

She put her make up on, put her touche in the motor
Put the motor in its usual place
Put the strip lights on, put the cash in the till
Put her service smile right across her pretty face
So I put my shades on, put my plan into action
Put my smoke out after a drag
I put the gun in her chest and I put it simply
“Put the money in the bag”
She went as white as a sheet but then she pouted and said
"What you ask is certainly doable
But first I've got to say
While anger is an energy
Sugar, you should run on renewables.
I can see in your eyes
You're not a bad geezer
Ain't it time you gave a little bit back?"
Well I almost slipped... but then I stuck to the script
"Put the money in the bag.
I’m quite a reasonable gentleman, but I don’t take no blag
My advice to you honey, is put the money in the bag.”
Half an hour later, got the cash and hid the shooter
I'm walking to the lockup and its getting colder.
I got away unobserved but I can't escape the words
Of that bird hanging heavy like the bag on my shoulder.
Then I come across a bloke with bin liners for a coat
Sleeping by the side of the railway tracks
With a rucksack for a pillow
I sighed and knelt and swallowed
And put the money in his bag.
For what does it profit a gentleman of conscience
If he gains the world but feels his spirits sag
My advice to you my comrades is:
Put the money in the bag.
