Baby Burglar Lyrics in English Madness
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Baby Burglar by Madness from French to English.
Guideless baby burglar
Guideless baby burglar
Where are you heading to?
Where are you heading to?
How could you be so selfish?
How could you be so selfish?
How can you be so cruel?
How can you be so cruel?
Following in the footsteps of your mentor
Following in the footsteps of your mentor
Not knowing how you've broken all the rules
Not knowing how you've broken all the rules
Adrift on your ship of fools
Adrift on your ship of fools
Aimlessly, you turn your blind eye
Aimlessly, you turn your blind eye
To all that's in your path upside down
To all that's in your path upside down
Oblivious in your destruction
Oblivious in your destruction
Turning other hopes into dying embers
Turning other hopes into dying embers
And their ashes into dust
And their ashes into dust
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
Going equipped into the night, boo
Going equipped into the night, boo
If I were to turn this weapon upon you
If I were to turn this weapon upon you
Who would be wrong, who would right?
Who would be wrong, who would be right?
Well, Jesus Christ's sakes, baby burglar
Well, Jesus Christ's sakes, baby burglar
Where will this wanton action end?
Where will this wanton action end?
Under the wheels of a crazy horse
Under the wheels of a crazy horse
Dragged off in a moment of madness
Dragged off in a moment of madness
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
Your cause of action, so easily avoided
Your cause of action, so easily avoided
Not even your god himself could defend
Not even your god himself could defend
And what a tragic mess we are in, baby burglar
And what a tragic mess we are in, baby burglar
Their grief will tear and consume but will never end
Their grievance will tear and consume but will never end
Faith and time shall prevail over all
Faith and time shall prevail over all
It's bright shining light will find wrong from right
It's bright shining light will find wrong from right
Offer you a lifetime to ponder
Offer you a lifetime to ponder
Think this tragedy through
Think this tragedy through
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
I once trod in your creeping foot steps
Oh, small time murderer
Oh, small time murderer
May god forgive your misguided steps
May god forgive your misguided steps
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
Oh, baby burglar
