1. Stuck inside these four walls
Sent inside forever
Never seeing no one
Nice again
(Paul McCartney and Wings, Band on the Run)
2. All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy, but I say
I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defence
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offence
(Eric Clapton, I Shot the Sheriff)
3. At break of day when that man drove away, I was waiting
I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door
She stood there laughing
I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more
(Tom Jones, Delilah)
4. My daddy was a bank robber
But he never hurt nobody
He just loved to live that way
And he loved to take your money
He's gone now
The old man spoke up in a bar
Said "I never been in prison
A lifetime serving one machine
Is ten times worse than prison"
(The Clash, Bankrobber)
