about

A song about treasuring your best friends and the times you have together. Life's good when you've got someone to watch your back and enjoy the good times with!

lyrics

Pre Ch:


I’ve got your back, you’ve got mine (you’ve got mine)

You and me we’re two of a kind (two of a kind)

Bank job, jewel heist, hold up a train, I’ll be riding shotgun

just the same

Chorus

You and me we’re Thick as Thieves (thick as thieves, thick as thieves)

You and me we’re Thick as Thieves (thick as thieves, thick as thieves) x2

Intro (chorus with just bass and vocals)

Sax Interlude (Ch progression)

Vs1
(boys)
We’ve known each other man and boy

We’ve known sorrow, we’ve known joy

We’ve weathered the storm, turned the tide

We know when to fight and when to hide

(girls)

When I went and landed myself in jail,

You came for me and posted my bail

Though the coppers tried to get me to sing

You can rest assured; I didn’t tell them a thing


Vs2
(Boys)
I light a fire when you lose your way
Lend you a bob when you don’t get paid
Buy you a drink when your glass is empty
Put food on your plate when I’ve got plenty

(girls)
When you rob a bank, I’m in the getaway car
When you sing a song I’ll be playing guitar
Do what you can, keep the wolves from the door
Rob from the rich and run from the law


Pre Ch

Mid Section

Vs3
(Boys)
Now we’re two old villains, long in the tooth
Ain’t like it used to be and that’s the truth
We tell stories of days gone past
Has time run out, has it gone too fast?

(girls)
But the shows not over, the game not up
We’ve got years ahead with a bit of luck
‘Cos you an’ me make quite a team
An’ in our line of work we’re thick as thieves!

Keep them dancing.
That’s the ethos that The Rin Tins have kept since their inception in early 2011 and since then the sextet have strutted from one stage to another playing high octane gypsy swing to the party hard masses.
With music that combines 5 part harmonies with swing jazz rhythms and pounding oompa beats, for 7 years they've been filling dance floors & festival tents across the UK. ... more
