Ocean Colour Scene Policemen & Pirates Lyrics:
The house caught on fire in the winter the bosses
lay slain and each of the workers decided to
ten-fold their pay and they saw in the mirror the
sun had been shot down in flames and nobody minded
the hole in the sky or the rain

But it doesn't really matter when the judgements
are said 'cause we all take our chances to find
out romance is in some others bed and you might
burn your fingers hock your best rings for those
who'd have you standing naked then publicly

auction the use of a hose

all the children were laughing their faces in half
at the pain of the girl who loved talking to walls
and jumping at trains and the words that ring true
in the playground of fools will remain and nobody
minded the hole in the sky or the rain

but it doesn't really matter when the rights have
been read 'cause we all take our chances to glance
at the wife in the opposite bed and I bet Nero and
Pilate could easily explain how policemen &
pirates get stoned in glass houses just finding
their way
