Viagra Boys - Ain't No Thief

  

  Yesterday I posted one of the most popular songs that I played on this week's show. It went down a storm in the chatroom but I'd say that there was another song that went down even better. This one...

  I probably don't really need to introduce Viagra Boys (https://www.facebook.com/viagraboys), they're the Stockholm post punk band who formed in 2015 and seem to be on a very rapid upward trajectory. Both their albums (Street Worms & Welfare Jazz) were excellent listens and hopes for their third, Cave World, are very high indeed. Especially now we've heard one of the tracks from it. It's due out on July 8th and you can pre order it here : https://www.vboysstockholm.com/

  A dancefloor stomper dripping in attitude and humour, this is a prime example of how to stoke up anticipation for a new lp, it's called Ain't No Thief... 

I showed up to the party in my favorite coat
On the back was an image of a shrimp on a boat
When you saw what I was wearin', you got real upset
And said, "That's the jacket that I got from my grandma"
Oh, well, I promise I ain't seen you before
And maybe your grandma had bought a couple more
And maybe I helped her at the grocery store
And she gave it to me as a gift
Uh, so quit bitchin', motherfucker

I went out on the porch to light a cigarette
I had six or seven lighters in my left pocket
I took out the one that said, "Shrimp City Beach, 1993"
And you told me, that's where you had your birthday party
And that the lighters were given as gifts
But I was there, too
Just dippin' my toes down on the beach, man
And I had that lighter specifically made for me, motherfucker, huh

I ain't no thief
He ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
He ain't no thief
I said, I ain't no thief
He ain't no thief
But, he got the same stuff

Huh, I said, I ain't no thief (He's got the same stuff)
He ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
He ain't no thief
I said, I ain't no thief
He ain't no thief
But, he got the same stuff

We just got the same stuff

I said, we got
We
We got the same stuff, man
I ain't no thief
We just happen to have the same stuff, motherfucker, ooh

I recall buyin' this
I recall buyin' this exact lighter when I was 15 years old
My grandpappy gave it to me as a present
Because I had just finished Boy Scout trainin'
And he was so proud of me, that he decided
To create this lighter in the exact same image of yours

I said, I ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
I said, I ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
We just, oh

Oh, I said, I ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
I said, I ain't no thief
I ain't no thief
We just got the same stuff

Enjoy the music on your radio
I found this jacket right outside your store
