Vagabonds don't fall in love 
 They just wheel and they deal 
 So if I turn a funny colour when you kiss me 
 I can't help the way that I feel 

 Hooligans don't fall in love 
 They just break up others lives 
 So when I come to you on bended knee 
 Don't forget my twenty other wives 

 So why? 
 Turn to a life of violence and crime? 
 So why? 
 Why do you cheat and why do you lie? 

 Because there's always someone with a bigger car 
 There's always someone with a bigger cigar 
 If you've been far 
 There's someone who's been further than your far 
 When you make your cart, you get to the start 
 There's always someone in a faster cart 
 There's always someone in a faster cart 
 There's always someone in a faster cart 

 Gangsters don't fall in love 
 They just roam from town to town 
 So when we kiss and we hold and we whisper 
 Please don't ever write it down 

 Hooligans don't fall in love 
 They just lie and they drink 
 So if you say I won't say 'I will' 
 Then I won't I think! 

 So why? 
 Turn to a life of violence and crime? 
 So why? 
 Why do you cheat and why do you lie? 

 Because there's always someone with a bigger car 
 There's always someone with a bigger cigar 
 If you've been far 
 There's always someone who's been further than your far 
 At last you're straight and you make a new start 
 There's always someone with a better heart 
 There's always someone with a better heart 
 There's always someone with a better heart 

 But all in all we're not so bad 
 We never take from our own kind 
 Bad's quite good when it's all you've ever had 
 And no bloody good sounds quite refined
