------------------------

"Stand and Deliver" was Adam and the Ants' most successful single.
It entered the UK Top 40 at Number One and stayed there for five weeks.
It was featured on their Prince Charming album.
The lyric "stand and deliver - your money or your life" was a phrase commonly used by highwaymen in 18th century England during robberies.

Music video

The song's video features Adam Ant dressed as a "dandy highwayman" who is captured and escapes being hanged from the gallows with help from his accomplices (his band members).
The video's opening sequence of Adam Ant putting on his makeup before going out on a robbery became a defining visual image for Adam Ant in the years that followed.
The video also has an early appearance by Amanda Donohoe who at the time was Adam's girlfriend.

Cover versions

No Doubt released the song along with their entire music catalogue for those who bought tickets to their North American tour in 2009, though it is not to be counted as a single officially and will not appear on their upcoming album. They also performed the song while playing a fictional 1980s band in the Gossip Girl episode "Valley Girls" as well as in their 2009 tour during the encore.

Indie rock group Young Knives released the single "Up All Night" with a cover of "Stand and Deliver" recorded at an XFM Radio session as the b-side, and have also performed it at their live shows.

In 1997 the song was covered by the band Sugar Ray for their album Floored.

Other media

This song is featured in the 2008 racing game, Burnout Paradise.

Lyrics

Stand and deliver..

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 soul
your conscience will be mine
all mine.

We're the dandy highwayman so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We're the dandy highwayman 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 soul
your conscience will be mine
all mine.

Da diddley qua qua da diddley qua qua (x20)
Stand and Deliver your money or your life. (x8)
