Sandy Beach (feature performer at Jillys') was always out of reach for Billy stuck in Kingston Pen, but he thought about her for hours and once he even sent her flowers and his bunkie shared his fantasy. No walls could hold our Billy, at least not for long and when he didn't answer roll call they knew that he was gone. He robbed a crappy tire took a shotgun and some shells and he went straight back to Coburg, Billy never learned too well, he robbed that same bank in Coburg yeah Billy never learned too well.

Now Sandy Beach was suddenly in reach for Billy with his great big wad of cash. But he never caught a break, his ex-bunkie was the rake that was living out Billy's fantasy. Yeah that dirty little squealer was shacked up with Billy's peeler and he's the one that called 911. In a dingy basement pad Billy's end was sad and it came from a blast of his gun. No walls could hold our Billy, at least not for long and when he didn't answer roll call they knew that he was gone. He robbed a crappy tire took a shotgun and some shells and don't you know that shotgun blew him straight to hell.

Well we all know a Billy and we all know a con. His exploits will live after him even though he's gone and lowlifes like his bunkie, well all your dreams they'll fleece but this psalm is for Billy may he rest in peace.
