This song is dedicated to my friend Olivier "Fondzy" Fond who is sadly no longer with us and played the splendid guitar solo.

lyrics

There's a world that's awake when everyone's asleep
A world of underground drinking dens and skeleton keys
Slumming girls in mews flats never realise that
There's a part of her she'll never get back
The famous cat burglar takes a minute to strike
No pity's ever been seen in his eyes

She makes a snowball as he's making mental notes
Her address book disappears deep inside his coat
She wakes and shivers as his Mini speeds over the river
Outside the air-brakes sigh at the sadness in her eyes
The famous cat burglar takes a minute to strike
No pity's ever been seen in his eyes

What a world that must have been in basement drinking clubs
And driving the Jag down to Southend to watch the sun come up

The bass beats out a space and makes the smoke rings swirl
Half the Cabinet have been down sweating on the girls
Apprentices gather round the burglar with their thin faces uplit
The unshaven little fence is trying to go straight
Hey! Good luck with this
The famous cat burglar takes a minute to strike
No pity's ever been seen in his eyes
The famous cat burglar, a minute to strike
No pity's ever been seen in his eyes
