The Bartender & The Thief

This is the first single from the Performance and Cocktails album, and not only was in the bands first top 10 single but it was their highest placed single with Maybe Tomorrow until Dakota went to #1 in 2005. A fantastic live track well reflected by the live version on CD2. The first version was released on CD, Cassette & Vinyl. The second was on CD only.

Lyrics

When you think about it
He’s watching ev’ry word you say hey dazed
And when he’s sussed you out
He calls her up and out she comes and hustles us
Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbin’ the graves of bodies dismembered

He watch the lesbian talk
She kissed and groped but mostly talked in lust crushed
He couldn’t make the call
His eyes were gripped on licking tongues enough’s enough failed for once
Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbin’ the graves of bodies dismembered

Long digging
Gone fishing
Love drinking

The bartender and the thief are lovers
Steal what they need like sisters and brothers
Met in a church a night to remember
Robbin’ the graves of bodies dismembered

Saved what they stoled to meet at the altar
Place where they first set eyes on each other
Flew to the sun to start life all over
Set up a bar and robbed all the locals
