18,000 Lira Lyrics
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
Yeah, we've got guns, but they're antiques
They're rusted and they're broken
The Red Brigade made us give our bomb back
But we're going to do this bank job
And we're gonna do our very best
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
Enrique's got a head cold again
It's not his fault
He's a brave and valiant leader
He couldn't even get bus passes this time
Just scooters, very fast scooters
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
Sounds like a lot of money
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
Yeah, we've got guns, but they're antiques
They're rusted and they're broken
The Red Brigade made us give our bomb back
But we're going to do this bank job
And we're gonna do our very best
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
It's not his fault
He's a brave and valiant leader
He couldn't even get bus passes this time
Just scooters, very fast scooters
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira
18,000 Lira

I figure this song is about blindly following someone. Lines like:
It's not his fault He's a brave and valiant leader Sounds like a lot of money
It seems like they're being duped into doing something, even though the reward at the end is hardly a reward at all. 18,000 lira is around $10.
Come on. I'd follow some guy I'd just met called Enrique to try at get about £6. Coz after all it does SOUND like a lot of money. That would be good for bragging.
"He couldn't even get bus passes this time Just scooters, VERY FAST SCOOTERS"
hahahah BRILLIANCE
this song is about a guy who tried to rob a bank in italy once but all he got were lousy 18000 lira so he could buy a ticket for the busride home. i read that in an interview with the singer. he originally wanted to record a whole album about this guy because he was so fascinated about him.
Just scooters, VERY FAST SCOOTERS!
I love him so.
AnajoKaro is right. He wanted to record a whole album but could only write two songs, this and stand down.
