	This song is based on the story line of a documentary that I not-too-long-ago had the privilege of acting in. I played the part of "the Russian Informant". It's actually a true story, based on a real-life theft case (I even met the real-life Officer Carmine Esposito during filming!). The documentary is part of the BBC series: "Art Crimes & Mysteries"...the installment I'm in is called: "TIFFANY TOMB RAIDERS"---see top of this page for the next airdate in America on BRAVO. I'd like to thank BOB BENTLEY the Producer "and Director as well, actually" for having me in the documentary which has already been seen on the BBC in England---(Director BOB BENTLEY called me from London recently and told me "It's a smash over here!")---and was just aired on BRAVO here in America. So, as I said, this record is written based on the story-line...I actually made this record DURING my filming in it, (Yeah, I did whip it up quick, got that right!) in the hopes of getting it put in the film as the opening theme. Unfortunately, they'd already commissioned the film score, so that was that.....I have however recently read a BBC Review of the film (in The Guardian---it's already been seen in Britain) and it seems there is already talk of making it into a full-blown motion picture. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll use it for that...perhaps I'll even get to reprise my role......in any case it was quite an experience....pretty darn freaky on occasion too...like being filmed in a Bronx graveyard after dark. I would've been scared out of my wits, only I kept myself calmed by continuously singing Lesley Gore's "The Look Of Love", almost in her register to boot... ...one of the other actors seemed to notice that here's this guy singing a girl's song (I didn't tell him I've got, like, a whole web page of stuff like that--click the link at tip-top of the page that says 'American Lesley Jane')...other than that, no one seemed to blink...I think I was kinda calming the whole crew as well...very very freaky it was, especially once it fell dark...full moon too! They took quite a few publicity photos of me, no doubt in some of them I was singing my heart out: "Look at the way he looks at her now...isn't that the look of love--whoa, whoa, whoa...isn't that the look of love, hey, hey, hey...isn't that the look of love....here am I all by myself, wishing I were someone else...I'll bet she doesn't even know I'm here....wish I could hold back my tears, but..." Yeah, I didn't even know all the actual lyrics, so I just ad-libbed... Anyway, it was quite an experience, and I'd also like to thank Ms. Lesley Gore for making that record which made it possible for me to keep my wits intact! (Actually, now that I think about it, maybe I WOULDN'T wanna reprise that role, mausoleums are kinda creepy to be in if you're not dead) Dearest Lesley Gore, One-time Songwriting Partner & Mother of All My Influences; you made me what I am today. Not quite sure what that is exactly, but thank you from the bottom of my heart. Whatever else can be said, you certainly saved me from boredom. (That's Right People Around The World, MOST of this music would never have existed without my personal mentor, Lesley Gore! ALL OF YOU who enjoy my music actually have her to thank!) Okay WORLD, One Time! Say It With Me: "THANK YOU LESLEY GORE!!"......... Much Much Much Love To The World, ~Lesley Jane (Love To The World is my latest album by the way---it's on my American Lesley Jane site) ~L

	Story Behind the Song I just told the story up there in the description now didn't I? Well I did you know. ~Lesley Jane Lyrics Thief In The Night You think it's alright You rock the cradle, rob graves at night But The Man's been writing it down Oh Ho! That's how it goes You don't know your wrong from right Mess with the dead 'cause they never fight But The Man will soon take you down below Where your sort goes Like a thief in the night We will turn on the light Now you're under the gun And you're starting to run Can't get away from me... Now there's nowhere to hide We'll be waiting outside Never leave you alone Caught you rolling the bones We see all that the camera sees There's no more room for lies Yours is the lamest of alibis And your past keeps weighing you down Oh Ho! That's how it goes It doesn't matter what you say anymore You picked your path and then you followed it out the door Lurk in shadows, rummage through tombs at night Wrong isn't right Like a thief in the night We will turn on the light Now you're under the gun And you're starting to run Can't get away from me... Now there's nowhere to hide We'll be waiting outside Never leave you alone Caught you rolling the bones We see all that the camera sees You sold your soul and bought your destiny Thief in the night Copyright 2002 ~ Lesley Jane
