Crime of The Week

from Master Plan by SIRR

about

My friend Paul Healey was helping me by creating a bass line for a song called Curly Whirly and we were chatting on the phone and the conversation meandered as it does and we touched on Crime of the Century by Supertramp and he made a quip about Crime of the Week and I immediately said that's a great title and I'm going to try and write a song. Crime of the Century is very dramatic, but my thought was that Crime of the Week would be humorous. Well, it didn't turn out that way.

lyrics

Crime of the week
Tears running down your cheeks
Crime of the week
Forgot to wipe my feet
Crime of the week
I didn't put down the toilet seat
Crime of the week

I don't know why it's so hard to get along
But ev-er-y thing I do turns out so wrong
The cap's off the toothpaste my clothes on the floor
And the look in your eyes says its the third world war

Chorus

I am a king on a couch in my palace
A felon convicted no forethought of malice
Dare I sip from the marital chalice
It's you asking me how I can be so calloused

Chorus

There's peace on a Sunday then along waltzes Monday
Next thing I know I land on the blues day
I crawl over hump day to find that its thirst day
Then what should be best turns into the worst day

I am a petty criminal
I am a petty criminal
An ordinary grifter
A common shoplifter
I am a petty criminal
All these petty crimes of mine lack ambition
All these petty crimes of mine on the road to perdition

Crime of the week
I stole the lunch money
Crime of the week
And the paper was funny
Crime of the week
Caught my hand in the jar
Crime of the week
Drown my sorrows at the bar
Crime of the week
Live hang in the balance
Crime of the week
Let me tell you what hell is
Crime of the week
I'm a person of interest
Crime of the week
I'm called to the inquest
Crime of the week
Must be some kind of record
Crime of the week
I'm a relationship wrecker
