Sugar Ray - Stand & Deliver Lyrics






I'm the dandy highwayman who you're too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
the devil take your stereo and your record collection
the way you look you'll qualify for next year's old age pension
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
I'm the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
the clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
so what's the point
of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
it's kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he's making
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
and even though you fool your souls
your conscience will be mine
We're the dandy highwaymen so
tired of excuses
of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
we're the dandy highwaymen and here's our invitation
throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife
and even though you fool your souls
your conscience will be mine
da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa [repeat over chorus]
Stand and deliver- your money or your life
Stand and deliver- your money or your life...

Sugar Ray Stand & Deliver Comments
  1. C.... C....

    Good cover.

  2. D.... ....

    First time I heard this song, I didn't know what to think. I never heard the original before it. The whole Floored album sounded like Sugar Ray...and then this track comes on and it made no sense. It was completely different than every other track, so I figured it was some random experimental one that was snuck in lol

  3. S.... C....

    Watching the original, see this in the links below.
    How bad could it be?

    S.... C....

    I actually dig this version. Original is the best, but this one is still great.

  4. I.... R....

    This whole album is amazing 90s post rock, before they sold out with Fly, which they did with his album but before Fly it Sugar Ray was legit.

    I.... R....

    how is this post rock lol

  5. J.... D....

    listened to this album a lot when I was 8-9 years old. 7 years later inherited my dads albums, Adam Ant was in there.. good for Sugar Ray

  6. B.... P....

    Horrible

  7. D.... ....

    Always loved this song, never knew it was a cover until recently

  8. T.... ....

    I would be a drug addict too if I had to wake up next to Sugar Gay's wife.

  9. T.... ....

    Sugar Gay hits it out of the park.

  10. T.... ....

    Much better

  11. E.... ....

    The difference between this song and the original? I could actually hear a bandit singing this one, Adam's was good, but his delivery is just so . . . languid.

  12. F.... S....

    its ok! I went searchin' for a heavier metalicized version. Adam ants ant music got me hooked back in the day due to the tribal heavy drums!

  13. j.... ....

    BURN IT

  14. T.... ....

    pure shite

  15. M.... W....

    This is the worse cover in the history of music... I hope they all die of some horrible ass cancer.FUCK SUGAR RAY

  16. P.... 5....

    I bought this album when I was like 7. Being a kid, I probably listened to it 100 times. I appreciate the song more after hearing the ants version. Let's not forget about abracadabra either lol

  17. C.... ....

    1:32 that laugh ^_^

  18. I.... R....

    Holy fuck sticks haven't heard this song since I was like 13, so Fucking good. God dammit I'm getting old

  19. E.... ....

    ha yea i use to love this when i was 15 and a freshman. havent heard this smack in years. only now do i realize how terrible it really is.

    E.... ....

    V2K EDP No, it's just you.

  20. S.... W....

    great adam ant cover.

  21. J.... M....

    This is pretty terrible.  Bad karaoke would be more listenable.

  22. M.... ....

    Ants fan here. It's not a bad cover actually, all things considered

    M.... ....

    +Megafayce but they didn't do anything resembling something new with it, so what's the point?

    M.... ....

    Bringing an old song into (then) modern times and paying it homage

    M.... ....

    9dstyle Yea they did, did you even listen???

  23. A.... N....

    this is so baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad vive adam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. A.... L....

    For what the original sounds like, this is a great cover, You can hate sugar ray now, but I brought this album when it came out and it was kinda rad, fly was the only song that sounded like fly on the album, but then slipknot came out and everything else sounded gay to me.

  25. D.... J....

    Holy shit this is terrible. Ha ha that's really put a smile to my face. *Really awful*.

    D.... J....

    David J G This a good cover, sonny boy.

    D.... J....

    Can't be any worse than your life, you wretched fool with no taste in music...were you expecting beiber or minaj or any of those other shitty "musicians"

  26. B.... ....

    This is truly the worst thing ive ever heard. Sugar Ray if this is what youve got left in ya..call it a day.

    B.... ....

    WTF are you talking about?! First off this is a cover of a Adam and Ants song from the 80's Sugar Ray did this in the 90's.

    B.... ....

    @nnnnnnnp No shit Sherlock, big Ant fan here. This cover is a disgrace and sucks . Thats wtf.

    B.... ....

    Yes, it's so BAAAAD. I really hate the part where it got me, as a 15 year old kid in '97, to look into who Adam and the Ants were and got me to check out their music. That's really the worst part about this song. Absolutely terrrrrrrrrrrrrrible. They should be ashamed of themselves.

  27. R.... D....

    I'm going to be sick now.....

  28. D.... F....

    The fact that Sugar Ray did the song exactly but just alittle more technology is what makes both original and this one awsome. 

    D.... F....

    Deven Faith I agree.

  29. S.... B....

    omg... i love how people are praising this version over the original when it's sung and structured almost exactly the same way.  The greatest difference I see though is that this version is what the original would've sounded like if it was made in the 90s... which this cover version demonstrates

  30. D.... S....

    Right back at you.

  31. C.... ....

    That seems like a reasonable reaction to a difference in taste.

  32. a.... ....

    pathetic

  33. J.... H....

    i personally prefer this to Adam Ant ...

  34. D.... J....

    La Didalie qua QWA!

  35. t.... ....

    This is a great version. Much better than the No Doubt one.

  36. k.... ....

    I like it- good tribute to Adam Ant

  37. k.... f....

    HA! wrong! just look whats on the video smart one lol

  38. m.... ....

    2:10 *ladirili qua qua*

  39. n.... ....

    @niftydandy u are correct sir

  40. D.... ....

    i'vs owned this cd for years and have liked this version. only recently i learned it was a cover (i dont tend to do research into music tbh) and like both but if i had to chose one over the other i'd pick this one.

  41. k.... ....

    The only album I have ever owned of them..

  42. M.... ....

    Butchered

  43. T.... 9....

    my penis hole hurts

  44. H.... K....

    I have owned this cd for years and I don't remember this song.. odd.

  45. B.... ....

    @rockyNKC ''The original is crap'' That's funny. Really funny.

    I actually quite like this cover though.

  46. R.... J....

    I love this song. I listened to the original recently and its crap. Thank you sugar ray for turning crap into quotable stuff that only the coolest will get.

  47. B.... ....

    These guys did not ruin the song. They put their own spin on it and it happens to be great in my opinion.

  48. K.... ....

    great ass cover!!! good fuckin job!!!

  49. D.... W....

    @KaylaIsAKilla I kno rite! they ruined it! Erased the old song from history too so you can't listen to it instead! I loved the 80's version where it sounded like Ballroom Blitz by The Sweet if they just talked their lyrics :D

    But that is just my opinion of the old version which STILL EXISTS (So how the fuck is it RUINED (Short for "In Ruins" IE Gone For Good))

  50. A.... O....

    too similar to the original... and the original is a masterpiece

  51. k.... f....

    @sicbouge5150 ha how can ya say its form 14:59 when the album is right on the screen??

  52. W.... ....

    Love it.

  53. d.... ....

    omg this brings me back hahah

  54. n.... ....

    @sicbouge5150 Thanks, but I think you are mistaken. It is in fact from Floored, I have the CD but just googled to be sure.
