"Cops and Robbers" is a single by the UK Indie Band The Hoosiers. It was their fourth single to be released from their debut album, The Trick to Life. It was first made available to download through the album which was released on 22 October 2007. The single was physically released on 21 April 2008 as confirmed by the band on tour. The song has been noted for its remarkable similarities to "The Lovecats" by The Cure.
The first showing of the video was on Channel 4, on 22 March 2008. The video was shot at Dickens World, directed by the directing duo Diamond Dogs (aka Phil Sansom and Olly Williams) and is set in London in the 1800s.
In the UK, the single performed much better to its predecessor "Worst Case Scenario", although it didn't match the success of "Worried About Ray" or "Goodbye Mr A". It was to reach the UK Top 40, debuting at #64 via download sales alone before eventually peaking at #24 two weeks later. It had a chart run of 10 weeks in the UK Top 100.
