Well I worked on a site and I soldered up pipes
And I still ended up with nothing left to show
So I thought I'd give it one more go
I met this bloke and I thought it was a joke
When he asked if I had it in my heart to rob
What he meant was a nice bank job

Well I thought I'd give it one last try
One final chance before I die
I got me a gun and a ticket to the sun

And now I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
And I live in Marbella
Coz I'd rather live there than not

I met with the mob and we set up a job
The ugliest bunch of gits you'd wanna meet
In a pub down in Denmark Street
Then I take to the wheel and we rob and we steel
Without a hitch we're running out the door
Coz the manager's my brother-in-law

Then we're sharing out the dough
Jump in a cab out to Heathrow
Time for one last drink before I go

And now I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
And I live in Marbella
Coz I'd rather live there than not

My apartment's cool, it's even got a pool
Marble everywhere and a maid to change the sheets
I make her come twice a week
And I drink in the bars with T.V. stars
Eastenders, Brookside, Coronation Street
I've landed on my feet

And my mates pop over from the Smoke
For a swim and a sunbathe and some coke
Money and friends, what a happy end

And now I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
And I live in Marbella
Coz I'd rather live there than not

Now I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
And I live in Marbella
Coz I'd rather live there than not

I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
Said I live in Marbella
I'd rather live there than not

I live in Marbella
The sun, the sand, I've got the lot
Said I live in Marbella
I'd rather live there than not
