    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! (oh-oh)
    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 remember when this song was released, Adam & The Ants played on the West Side of New York City next to the Intrepid Ship. The band came down the Hudson River on a pirate ship hanging from the ropes and blowing off cannons. The Pirate ship docked next to a stage next to the Intrepid, and the band then ran on to the stage, grabbed their instruments and started playing "STAND AND DELIVER". It was the most Amazing stage entrance I've ever seen by any band ever!

Interestingly my younger sister doesn't seem to suit black eyeliner either.. It's too dramatic - with her eyes she ends up looking like big doe-eyed Princess Diana whereas I just look like a bloody vampire lol
      I've been meaning to revisit Prince Charming all day. Now I'm finally going to do it, so I know what you're talking about - because I've got one or two images in my head now ranging from foxtrot ONE TWO ONE TWO with crossed forearms all the way to goose stepping up and down the hall, like Siouxsie Sioux

    Saw him in 1982 at 14 years old-I was such a starstruck nerd in my black “Members Only” jacket which was plastered in several dozen Adam Ant pins. Great entertainer he was-I was so disappointed not to have caught the sweaty leg-warmer (remember those 80’s kids?) that he generously flung into the crowd. I remember racing to the phone to call my best friend and fellow Ant-Fan every time one of his videos popped up on the MTV. Ah the good old days!

      I'm glad I'm not the only 56 year old that still listens to Adam and the Ants! This was such a fun MTV video in the early 1980s. I still remember watching this video on MTV as late as 1988 and feeling sad because I knew music was about to change in the 1990s but I never expected all of the grunge bands to emerge.

Handed my pennies over. I had a homemade record player in my bedroom and I swear I played that 7 inch record so many times it must have disintegrated at some point. I loved him so much! That and Tubby the Tuba got played to death. 😆😂 I moved on to tape and mini disc fairly quickly, but this will always be the first record in my now extensive 80s and 90s vinyl collection. ❤

    This is music at it's finest! True genius in every possible way. Very fortunate to have been brought up with music of this calibre. I'm an 80's child and my mum had this on vinyl - I lived off music like this! They just don't write music for it's very purpose of being something to listen to and think about any more. That thing we call art has gone. But this art will always stand the test of time.
