== Lyrics ==
<poem>
Dear hero imprisoned,
With all the new crimes that you are perfecting
Oh I can't help quoting you
Because everything that you said rings true


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?
Don't say you don't
Please say you do


== Lyrics ==
I am:
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys
 
And now in my cell
(Well, I loved you)
And every man with a job to do
Ronnie Kray - do you know my face?
Don't say you don't
Please say you do
 
I am:
The last of the famous
International playboys
The last of the famous
International playboys


{{lyrics
In our lifetime those who kill
|
The newsworld 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


==Personnel==
I never wanted to kill
I'M NOT NATURALLY EVIL
Such things I do
Just to make myself
More attractive to you
HAVE I FAILED?
