Robbers - The 1975

Album: The 1975

genre: Indie Pop Indie Rock Pop Rock Pop-Punk

She had a face straight outta magazine
God only knows but you’ll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun he’s begging, “Babe, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.”

I’ll give you one more time
We’ll give you one more fight
Said one more lie
Will I know you

Now if you never shoot, you’ll never know
And if you never eat, you’ll never grow
You’ve got a pretty kind of dirty face
And when she’s leaving your home she’s begging you, “Stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.”

I’ll give you one more time
We’ll give you one more fight
Said one more line
Be a riot, cause I know you

Well, now that you’ve got your gun
It’s much harder now the police have come
Now I’ll shoot him if it’s what you ask
But if you just take off your mask
You’d find out everything’s gone wrong.

Now everybody’s dead
And they’re driving past my old school
He’s got his gun, he’s got his suit on
She says, “Babe, you look so cool, you look so cool, you look so coo-o-o-oo-oo-ool.
You look so cool, you look so cool, you look so coo-o-o-oo-oo-ool.”

"Robbers" presents a story about a failed heist. What makes it more interesting is the relationship between a girl and her toxic bad-boy type of boyfriend.
