I stole some football stickers in 1987. I'm a bad man

There were six of us who all used to go up to Oxford Street and Carnaby Street, and the other five used to go nicking, ended up really cocky and one afternoon they all got nabbed in HMV, got locked up and had to be collected by their parents, school found out and lots of repercussions.

I was the only only one who never took anything.

In the earliest days of my shoplifting career,
You could safely say I was filled with fear.
It was nail biting work from the very start,
But several quick sucesses soon gave me heart.
After a while I could pick or nick or steal,
Some shirts some trousers and a few lps.
No-one ever stopped me, they didn't seem to care.
It sometimes seemed to me that there was no-one there.

Then a fine summers day my mates and me,
Set off down the westend on our usual spree.
Things were as normal for an hour or so,
Then my nimble hands were a bit too slow.
Two store detectives made a fast approach,
One grabbed my jacket (you're nicked!)
The other grabbed my throat.
So they caught me at last, one said with joy:
"you'll have to do some time, my light fingered boy!"

If only I'd remembered my common sense,
They captured me red-handed with evidence.
If I go to the manager and say I'm sorry,
Maybe he'll forgive me for my youthful folly.

But what will me social worker say,
If I don't come home today?
He'll give me a clout!
What if they don't let me out?
I told him I'm on me own!
Don't they understand?
I'm from a broken home!

I'll tell them I'm the product of a broken home,
And I always went out on my own.
Was it too late to say I'd pay,
And I'll never steal again 'till the end of my days?
Because I have no friends to call as such,
Money and posessions I did not have much,
So I started to steal in order to get by.
The quickness of the hand deceives the eye.
Deceives the eye the eye the eye...

heh, used to love this song.

I took a packet of Garfield stickers from a shop when i was about 9. My Mum and Dad found out and confiscated them and the album! By the time I got them back they had stopped selling the stickers, so I never completed my collection.

I also used to, around the age of 10 or 11, swap the price stickers on tapes, whether music or spectrum games, with the bargain bin ones, so I got them for 99p. Had to choose a till with an old lady who wouldn't realise.

Then I realised that it had gone too far when I bought East 17's album 'Walthamstow' for 99p. It was worth less than that. I felt suitably chastised.
