Robbers Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She had a face straight out a magazine
God only knows, but you'll never leave her
Her balaclava is starting to chafe
And when she gets his gun, he's begging, "Babe, stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay"

[Chorus]
"I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
Will I know you?"

[Verse 2]
Now if you never shoot, you'll never know
And if you never eat, you'll never grow
You got a pretty kind of dirty face
And when she's leaving your home, she's begging you to stay, stay
Stay, stay, stay

[Chorus]
"I'll give you one more time
We'll give you one more fight
Said one more line
There'll be a riot 'cause I know you"

[Bridge]
Well, now that you've got your gun
It's much harder now the police have come
And I'll shoot him if it's what you ask
But if you just take off your mask
You'd find out everything's gone wrong

[Outro]
Now everybody's dead
And they're driving past my old school
And he's got his gun, and he's got his suit on
And she says, "Babe, you look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool
You look so cool (One more time)
You look so cool (One more fight)
You look so cool (One more line)"
('Cause I know you)

What else have the artists said about the song?

“Robbers” and “Sex” were the only songs we took from Drive Like I Do to be part of The 1975. It was the first BIG song we had written. I was 19 when I wrote it.
