The JBs live and fast
I was out doing shopping one morning in May
Getting all the provisions for that nuclear day
Apples, oranges, mangos and pears
Fresh from the store in the miles of chairs
I was pushing my trolley from detergent to cheese
When I first saw the man with antler ears
I tried to ignore but his gaze held my eyes
When he told me the truth about the basket of lies

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don’t Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

So I told him some more about me and Rock
How we formed a band just around the block
How we’d searched for years for this African tribe
I'd been lost with the diamonds down Solomon's mines
From the way he was dressed with his shield and spears
He was obviously a man with very few fears
So I asked him to join us in the quest for our Grail
Leave the bike out behind with the unopened mail

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don’t Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don’t Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

Don’t Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

We set the date for the very next day
We cashed our Giros and we’re on our way
The JAMS don't mess and the JAMS don't sway
We told Mandy Smith she could stop or stay
So we crossed the Sahara in a runner we stole
From a Bedouin tribe just out on parole
Gadaffi said "hi" so we blew his mind
When we sold him the secrets of Solomon's mines

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)

Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
I said Don't Take Five (Take what you want)
