On the Run from the MI5 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come and take a leaf out of my book
I'm a crack-dealing crook
Selling lots of rock and roll to the masses

And I know if you wanna take a trip to the city
We can go (To Gibraltar)
We can go (To Gibraltar)

[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Give me your switch card
I'll book some flights

[Verse 2]
1996 and I'm stuck at the bottom of a truck
On the run from the MI5, got detectives
And I'll say if you catch me that I really wish
That I had stayed (In Gibraltar)
That I had stayed (In Gibraltar)


[Chorus]
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Let's go, let's go, let's go, come on
Give me your switch card
I'll book some flights

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
