Mugshots Lyrics - Godley And Creme

Mugshots, mugshots 

Mugshots, mugshots 

I was just a lonely boy 

Every day a different toy 

I fell in love with Hubcap Jenny 

And she fell in love with me 

She taught me how to steal a car 

And sling a brick 

She taught me what the coppers are 

And how and where to kick `em 

Mugshots 

I'm taking her advice 

Mugshots 

`Cos Hubcap Jenny's nice 

I was just an only child 

Running free and running wild 

But I stole one hubcap too many 

And the law came down on me 

They taught me how to give salutes 

And take some stick 

To know the sound of policeman's boots 

And now and then to lick `em 

They taught me how to sleep at night 

In the lion's den 

Forget about the dynamite 

And dream of Hubcap Jenny 

Shoot `em in black and white 

Bring me the prints tonight 

I know, you know there's a mug in the shot! 

Mugshots 

"Where were you on the night in question?" 

Mugshots 

"I was home in bed M'Lord" 

Mugshots 

"I submit that last suggestion" 

Mugshots 

"Puts him in contempt of court" 

Mugshots 

"I'd give you proof but there isn't any" 

Mugshots 

"And there my lord I rest my case" 

Mugshots 

"There's no such girl as Hubcap Jenny" 

Mugshots 

"We have no record of her face in the mugshots" 

Shoot `em in black and white 

Bring me the prints tonight 

I know you know there's a mug in the shot! 

Give me a hint of style 

Give me "The Kray Profile" 

I know you know there's a mug in the shot!
