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
