Chris Sheehan - Pickpockets Lyrics

Your heroes never stick around
The wind picks up, they blow away
And all these pages fill with new found fame
Til the wind picks up again

Do you love them?
Or is it easier to shield yourself from any change?
It's a cold walk when you find you've got to get to know yourself again

And this keeps coming round
Overpaid vessels making clanging sounds
And they build them up so they can tear them down

Again
They put one in your pocket and they take out ten
When it's all going well everybody's your friend
Just keep these pickpockets away from me

Does today feel like you're all alone?
There's falsehood in everything you see
So many talented liars all around we don't know who to believe

And this keeps coming round
We're all up for sale to the richest clown
And they play with your money
So they can keep you down

Again
They put one in your pocket and they take out ten
When it's all going well everybody's your friend
Get these pickpockets away from me

Again
They put one in your pocket and they take out ten
When it's all going well everybody's your friend
Get these pickpockets away from me
