Hi guys

Haven't written in a while but I sat down and managed to get this down

It's predominantly a love song, however I injected my thoughts and cynicism too

Let me know what you think

Cops n' Robbers

Welcome to your life
It doesn't look so great  
I'd rather be on the inside 
Looking at the flowers
Than staring at the town
While the animals pollinate 

I can't cook but I can survive
Looking back just ain't no good
Let's drive to the border for a look
See if it's better on the other side
I'll promise you to love you forever
I hope that's alright 

Maybe baby
We can play cops n' robbers
You can chase me through these streets 
I'll just steal your pretty heart girl
Because without any lovers
What's the point on peace on earth 

Perhaps, it's a little harsh
I dont want to lie 
Like Yuppies painting the world green
While the hippies now wear suits and ties
I fell in with you a long time ago
Challenge that if you like but I wouldn't dare

Maybe baby
We can play cops n' robbers
You can chase me through these streets 
I'll just steal your pretty heart girl
Because without any lovers
What's the point on peace on earth 

When the jukebox sang out no woman, cry
We as lost friends raised our glasses
One last time, before we parts ways
Swore to the girls who became our wives
Our life's will end but we will never die
Wild hearts... Blue jeans and white T-Shirts

good lyrics with some great lines

like:
Our life's will end but we will never die

really good stuff

but i have some reservations with that chorus line (we can play cops and robbers)

don't know why, i like everything about the lyrics except for that lin

I agree with DB. The song is good save for that line. Of course, it's pretty necessary for the whole metaphor to work but the line itself seems a bit flat. I'm not too keen on 'maybe baby' either...

Good stuff, Soul Punk.

Personally, I think I get the Cops n' Robbers as the whole 'play chase with the girls thing',  I like it.
