Masked and dressed in black
You scramble over rooftops
Carrying a bag, a bag marked swag
You’re the best jewel thief in the world
Vigilance is lax
Security complacent
Adjacent to the gem, a diadem of pearl
Is the best jewel thief in the world
Watch your legend grow
The rooftops are for dreamers
You strike and then return Lucerne–Heathrow
The best jewel thief in the world
Down below, down below
What do any of those losers know?
Down below, down below
What do any of those assholes know?
Even so, even so
Be a Buddhist boy and let it go
Even so, even so
Be a Catholic boy and let it go
You’re the best jewel thief in the world
Sirens moan and drone and groan
But Interpol can’t catch you
The cameras always show a screen of snow
Ergo, you’re the best jewel thief in the world
Down below, down below
What do any of those losers know?
Down below, down below
What do any of those assholes know?
Even so, even so
Be a Buddhist boy and let it go
Even so, even so
Be a Catholic boy and let it go
You’re the best jewel thief in the world
Nimble as a cat
They hope your luck deserts you
They’re sharpening their knives, but you have nine lives
You’re the best jewel thief in the world
Watch your legend grow
Watch your legend grow
Watch your legend grow
You’re the best jewel thief in the world
The lyrics THE BEST JEWEL THIEF IN THE WORLD of PREFAB SPROUT is also present in the album Crimson/red (2013)
Prefab Sprout è un gruppo musicale britannico di pop rock, attivo dal 1982. Fondato a Northumberland da Paddy McAloon (voce, chitarra), il gruppo ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '80 con un sound caratterizzato da melodie orecchiabili, testi poetici e arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi. Tra i brani più noti figurano "Cars and Girls", "The King of Rock'n'Roll" e "Hey!" . L'album di debutto, "Swoon", ha segnato l'inizio di una carriera ricca di successi, consolidati con il secondo album "Steve McQueen" (1985), considerato uno dei capolavori del pop britannico. McAloon, unico membro originale ancora presente nel gruppo, ha continuato a pubblicare musica fino ai giorni nostri, pur mantenendo un profilo relativamente basso rispetto al periodo di massimo successo.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
