Lyrics

Tales of deception and cunning and plots
Characters leap from the page
Those who have and those who have not
And those who are seething with rage

Tales of misdeeds long since committed
And master criminals wrongly acquitted
And simple civilians just like ourselves
Helping out others, but never themselves

Fodder for late nights and busses and trains
Long distance journeys on jet aeroplanes
Stories as old as the hills and the trees
Only the heroes can access the keys

Teasing the reader with clever misdirection
Everything tied up to the point of perfection
The guilty are found out and brought to swift justice
We don’t want anything more, just this
We don’t want anything more, just this

(c) words and music G Todd 2025
