The Compulsive Gamblers - "Two Thieves"

[TheGregoblivian]

Sorry maestrodagod, both of these fellows have long ago passed on. I wrote the song so you can take my word on it.

[maestrodagod]

The two thieves of this song aren't dead. I know one of them personally, he played with the band briefly, helped work on the song "Stop & Think It Over."

[kcarpenter17]

You were my ambassador to a world that didn't care

Bad luck on your side mirrored shades and dirty hair

When I look all I see is my own reflection.

:\

[redmeatheart]

Two peas in a pod, or just two theives on the nod

on the nod= the dream state that opiate users and heroin addicts experience with their drug

[Olekrok]

[thelongknives62]

pure fucking brilliance, one of the greatest tunes I have ever heard...

[stoiCOstoi]

it is great it has so few views.... we appreciate it much more

[bodiddleybodiddley]

@stoiCOstoi Exactly what I was thinking. Doesn't get any better than this. My most listened to song on the Ipod

[lukestrummer]

Gorgeous.



[thebus140]

Chords?

[biguglystick]

Gorgeous song, in every way. Greg Cartwright rocks my world.

[DotGifs]

This song is so beautiful.

[umtum007]

I like the hives cover of this song =)

[mtwallet]

well they twitched/and they winked

you would show me we are thick as thieves

but you empty out my wallet/and my ashtray as you leave

did you forget/that I was your only friend ?

two months on the road/and I don't know how to say good bye

maybe I should burry all those/memories of you

but I don't/ever want to see them die

Chorus

[mtwallet]

you stole your education/while the students were asleep

you laughed at history up in blankets/and sank it in the deep

you said what's saved was worth perfection

you were my ambassador/to a world that didn't care

bad luck on your side/mirrored shades and dirty hair

when I look/all I see is my own reflection

Chorus

[HailinOnMe]

You wrapped their history up in blankets and sank it in the deep?

maybe wrong haha. thats what I always thought :)

nicely done!

[Keithed200]

I'm pretty sure it's "you wrapped your history up in blankets and sank it in the deep ", which is a great lyric.

[mtwallet]

one was from the east/the other from the west

and I don't claim to know/either one of them's the best

but I know/an angle man/when I see one

your humour just as black/as the bruises on your arms

what you lacked in skills/you made up for with your charms

you said/it was just some new infection

Chorus:

but if the two of you had met/both your mothers would have wept

two peas in a pod/or just two thieves

on the nod

[Keithed200]

This is a gorgeous and very affecting song.
