In the earliest days of my shoplifting career 在我的职业生涯入店行窃的初期

You could safely say I was filled with fear 你可以放心地说，我充满了恐惧

It was nail biting work from the very start 它是指甲从一开始就咬工作

But several quick successes soon gave me heart 但一些快速的成功很快给了我心脏

After a while I could pick or nick with ease 过了一会儿，我可以拿起或尼克轻松

Some shirts some trousers and a few LPs 有些衬衫西裤的一些和一些有限合伙人

No-one ever stopped me they didn't seem to care 没有人想过没有，我似乎，他们并不关心

It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there. 有时在我看来，有没有人在那里。

   

Then a fine summers day my mates and me 那么细的夏天我的队友和我

Set off down the West End on our usual spree 掀起了下来西区我们平时大礼包

Things were as normal for an hour or so 事情是正常的，一个小时左右

Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow 然后我灵活的手慢了一点

Two store detectives made a fast approach 两店侦探取得了快速的方法

One grabbed my jacket and said you're nicked 一个抓住我的外套，说你有缺口

The other grabbed my throat 其他的抓住了我的喉咙

So they caught me at last, one said with joy 因此，他们抓住了我最后一说的喜悦

You'll have to do some time my light fingered boy 你得做了一段时间我的手指轻男孩

   

If only I'd remembered my common sense 如果只有我会想起我的常识

They captured me red-handed with evidence 他们占领了我当场证据

If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry 如果我去了经理，说对不起

Don't they understand 难道他们不明白

I'm from a broken home 我是从一个破碎的家庭很

   

I'll tell them I'm the product of a broken home, 我会告诉他们我是一个破碎的家庭产品，

And I always went out on my own 而我总是出去我自己

Was it too late to say I'd pay 是不是来不及说我付

And I'll never steal again 'till the end of my days 我永远不会再偷“到了我的日子结束

Because I have no friends to call as such 因为我没有朋友这样叫

Money and possessions I did not have much 金钱和财产，我没有太多

So I started to steal in order to get by 于是我开始在ORDER BY去窃取

The quickness of the hand deceives the eye 手的敏捷欺骗眼睛

Deceives the eye the eye the eye... 欺骗眼睛的眼的眼...
