The Beautiful South Hooligans Don't Fall In Love lyrics

Vagabonds don't fall in love
They just wheel and they deal
So if I turn a funny color 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 always someone
Who's been further than you're far

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 you're 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
