    I listened to this while not growing up I can handle growing old if I can still rock with this
  • Excellent Album! Great Song! That's why I love you, Genesis Band! ❤️🎼🎶
  • When I was a prosecutor, I used to listen to this song before every robbery trial I had. Great tune!
  • @MrLindeman
    That instrumental is very reminiscent of Firth of Fifth totally badass
  • @kanasatka1
    A very British tune LOL. Love this entire album. After Hackett split it was all over.
  • Happy Birthday today(January 30) to Phil Collins. "You've got it wrong sir, I'm only the cleaner".  Cheers!
  • A Trick of the Tail in my opinion is the best album Phil Collins has ever made! My sister bought this album when I was in grade school in Montana. I would slap this on our old record player and listen. Now I listen to it on a THX certified speaker system. Thanks Phil for all of the memories! If you think this song is a dandy, turn up my equally favorite tune "Los Endos"!!!!! I love you Phil Collins!

    I always wished that the 13/8 section would have featured in the Cage/Cinema medley somehow..
  • The streets were deserted though the police were alerted They considered the phone call a hoax Furtively glancing the jauntily prancing The youth caught the guards unaware Slipping between them he ought to have seen the The eyes and their owner so near With torch shining bright he strode on in the night Till he came to the room with the safe "Hello son, I hope you're having fun" "You've got it wrong Sir, I'm only the cleaner" With that he fired, the other saying as he died "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever Robbery, assault and battery The felon and his felony He picked up the diamonds and bundles of fivers He pushed them well down in his sack But the alarm had been sounded, he was completely surrounded But he had some more tricks up his sleeve "Come outside with your hands held high" "You'll not get me alive Sir, I promise you that Sir" With that he fired, the other saying as he died "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever Robbery, assault and battery The felon and his felony "He's leaving via the roof, the bastard's got away God always fights on the side of the bad man" "I've got clean away but I'll be back some day Just the combination will have changed Some day they'll catch me, to a chain they'll attach me But until that day I'll side the old crime wave If they try to hold me for trial I'll stay out of jail by paying my bail And after I'll go to the court of appeal saying "You've done me wrong", it's the same old song forever"

    The lyrics may be my least favorite part of this song, and they aren't half bad... The music is sublime really
