Lyrics

Dear hero imprisoned

With all the new crimes that you are perfecting

Oh, I can't help quoting you

'Cause everything that you said rings true

Oh-ho-oh, oh-ho-ho

And now in my cell, well, I followed you

And here's a list of who I slew

Reggie Kray, do you know my name?

Oh, don't say you don't

Please, say you do, oh-oh

I am the last of the famous

International playboys

The last of the famous

International playboys

And in my cell, well, I loved you

And every man with a job to do

Ronnie Kray, do you know my face?

Oh, don't say you don't

Please, say you do, oh-oh

I am the last of the famous

International playboys

The last of the famous

International playboys

In our lifetime, those who kill

The news world hands them stardom

And these are the ways

On which I was raised

These are the ways

On which I was, which I was raised

I never wanted to kill

I am not naturally evil

Such things I do

Just to make myself

More attractive to you

Have I failed?

Oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, no, no, oh-whoa-ho-ho

Oh, no, no, yeah, yeah, no, oh-whoa-ho-ho

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, yeah, oh, yeah, oh-whoa-ho-ho

No, no, yeah, oh-oh, yeah

Oh, the last of the famous

International playboys

The last of the famous
