Beginners 101

LYRICS

And so it came
Not like other game
Don’t stand to close to the flame
Nothing ventured nothing gained

We took the money and gone
A flight to cologne or maybe bon

A suit made from mo hair
A little flair
Some brill creamed hair, yeah

Up over the roof
A rope, a jimmy something waterproof
Where eagles dare
A self proclaimed millionaire

Under a silvery moon
We couldn’t finish the job too soon
A nod a wink and uncomfortable glance
The man from the special branch

“Ello son”

I should have known
Something wasn’t right
It’s beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight

We was having fun (having fun)
A little hit and run
One for all and all for one
Finish what we begun

Was it all a charade
A mistake to have stayed
Ain’t them bars of gold
A sight to behold
A panama so bold

I should have known
Something wasn’t right
It’s beginners 101
Into the night
Before the daylight

We should have guessed
Did it pass the idiot test
It’s beginners 101
Just a burner phone
This bird has flown

EDITORS REVIEW

Barson, the band's strongest songwriter, has once again delivered a classic Madness track with a beautiful melody reminiscent of "The Sun and the Rain" or "Sugar and Spice." The lyrics explore themes of criminal activity, having fun, and robbing banks for their gold bars. The song features a stunning string arrangement, backing vocals, and the usual intricate sax parts. It is a top candidate for release as a single, showcasing the band's signature blend of catchy melodies and compelling storytelling.

TRACK RATING: 10/10
