Moss Lime - "I Always Get What I Want" [buy]
This is psych-up music for a world-class diamond thief. She plays it in her headphones in the backseat of her limo, as the chauffeur whisks her to the second heist of the night. She hums the tune as she lowers herself from the rooftop on high-tension wire. She sings the chorus softly while removing the lid of the oversize glass box holding the rare jewel. She exchanges the diamond with an exact replica from her right hoodie pocket, then hides her calling card in the display. If the curators ever discover that they are exhibiting a fake there will be no question as to which criminal mastermind snatched the real thing. The card reads "The Yellow Magpie / Cat Burglar, est. 2005 / 'I always get what I want.'"
