"No Honor Amongst Thieves" lyrics
Aurelio Voltaire Lyrics
"No Honor Amongst Thieves"
Well, hello there, fancy man
I'm sure you understand
You've got something I need
That map there in your hand
Well, it's a part of my master plan
And I must insist that you place it in my fist
There's no honor amongst thieves
It is a symptom of the disease
And if we find a friend down on his knees
We'll pick him up and shake him down
And take just what we please
Yo-ho!
Well, take ole Brutus. He's doing fine
His whole entire village was wiped out in '69
Did he bury them? Hah! No, of course
He stole a sack off someone's back and then he looted every corpse
There's no honor amongst thieves
It is a symptom of the disease
And if we find a friend down on his knees
We'll pick him up and shake him down
And take just what we please
Yo-ho!
Now look at Virgil, he's quite a card
He met a girl, he fell in love and she handed him her heart
Well, he's still got it, home in a jar
And he turned a pretty penny selling all her other parts
There's no honor amongst thieves
It is a symptom of the disease
And if we find a friend down on his knees
We'll pick him up and shake him down
And take just what we please
There's no honor, so say we
We aren't assassins who have a creed
No, we're just filthy low-down scum and sleaze
And we won't rest until the best you've got belongs to me (No me!)
In the Hall of Thieves, we stood
And we took the oath
I don't remember what I swore
'Cause someone stole the scroll
There's no honor amongst thieves
It is a symptom of the disease
And if we find a friend down on his knees
We'll pick him up and shake him down
And take just what we please
There's no honor, so say we
We aren't assassins who have a creed
No, we're just filthy low-down scum and sleaze
And we won't rest until the best
Contents of every treasure chest
All belong to me (No me!) (No me!) (No me!)
It all belongs to me!

The Decemberists - "The Mariner's Revenge Song" We are two mariners
Our ships' sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
Its ribs are ceiling beams
Its guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

I was a child of...
Ludo - "Skeletons On Parade" Behind a curtain of towering pines
The sun settling red
A city hidden high in the hills
Comes out to honor the dead
Families somberly walk through the town
They build altars and pray
Clean the tombs...
Harley Poe - "Gorehound" She's always asking why
I like watching people die
And why I get my kicks
While others scream and cry
Well, my friends think that I'm sick
Or maybe uneducated
And my family doesn't want to admit that...
That Handsome Devil - "Twist The Knife" They call me lonely
They say I'm blue
'Cause I go crazy when I'm not with you
If it's a curse, then make it hurt
Come on and curse me
I'll go to work with all the jerks
And wake up early
With all...
