Joker and the Thief Lyrics

I said the joker is a wanted man
He makes his way all across the land
See him sifting through the sand

So I'll tell you all the story
About the joker and the thief in the night

He's always laughing in the midst of power
Always living in the final hour
There is always sweet and sour
So we are not going home


Can you see the joker flying over
As she's standing in the field of clover
Watching out everyday
I wonder what would happen if he took her away

What you see, well, you might not know
You get the feelin', comin' after the glow
The vagabond is moving slow

So I'll tell you all the story
About the joker and the thief in the night

All the people that you see in the night
Hold their dreams up to the light
The wild beast is searching for sight
And we are not going home

Can you see the joker flying over
As she's standing in the field of clover
Watching out everyday
I wonder what would happen if he took her away

I said the joker is a wanted man
He makes his way all across the land
See him sifting through the sand
So I'll tell you all the story
About the joker and the thief
I said I'll tell you all the story
About the the joker and the thief
I said, I'll tell you all
about the Joker And The Thief in the night

Wolfmother is a Grammy Award-winning hard rock band formed in Sydney, New South Wales in 2000. The band originally consisted of Andrew Stockdale (guitar, vocals), Chris Ross (bass, keyboards), and Myles Heskett (drums), though Ross and Heskett left the band in August 2008. With the original line up Wolfmother released one album, Wolfmother, and six singles, the highest-charting of which was "Joker and the Thief" which reached number eight in Australia.

In 2004 Wolfmother began appearing at several high profile music events, such as Homebake and the Big Day Out. They also released their debut self-titled EP through Modular Recordings.

In 2005 the band made their way to Los Angeles, working alongside producer Dave Sardy (of Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Marilyn Manson, and Oasis fame) to record their self-titled debut album, released in October 2005.

In 2006 Wolfmother dominated the Australian Recording Industry Association awards (ARIAs), taking Best Breakthrough Album, Best Rock Album, and Best Group.

In August 2008, after headlining the Splendour in the Grass festival in Byron Bay, Australia, bass/keyboard player Chris Ross and drummer Myles Heskett resigned, leaving just singer/guitarist Andrew Stockdale. Andrew planned to find new musicians before recording another album.

From February 2009 the new line up appeared in two secret gigs under the name Whitefeather. The band officially consists of Dave Atkins on drums, Ian Peres on bass and organ, and Aidan Nemeth as the surprise fourth member and a new guitarist. The new line up's first album, Cosmic Egg, was released in 2009.

Now drummer Dave Atkins has decided to leave the band to spend more time at home with his family; he will be temporarily be replaced by The Mooney Suzuki and Har Mar Superstar drummer Will Rockwell-Scott.


There is only Andrew Stockdale, Chris Ross, and Myles Hessket. The three new guys are only lies. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
