Intro

Verse 1

I used to be a spy

I used to be a real enigmatic guy

I travelled on the trains

I travelled with my collar turned up in the rain

I had a little gun

And I followed on the heels of those on the run

And they never got away

There always was a price and the price got paid

Chorus

I used to be a spy

I used to be a real enigmatic guy

Verse 2

Before I met you

And before all the shit that you put me through

I thought love would prevail

But you had me running round chasing my own tail

I couldn't even spy

I always was conspicuous no matter how I tried

I was pissing in the wind

So desperate I resorted to going through your bin

Chorus

I used to be a spy

Spying with my little enigmatic eye

Solo

Bridge

I used to be a spy

I used to be a spy

Verse 3

But that was way back then

Back when I was fatter and my hair weren't quite as thin

But you made me look a fool

So I took my little gun and put an end to you

Now they hunt me every day

They hunt me like a dog but I always get away

Cause I'm a slippery little worm

Living off my wits now the worm has turned

Outro

I used to be a spy

I used to be a spy

I used to be a spy

I used to be a spy

I used to be a real enigmatic guy
