fleece = rip-off or steal.
as in
"nobody's looking so lets fleece the place"

Usually means someone is going to take everything they can get off you, via robbing, conning or any other method etc.

No, I think he is referring to a jumper/sweater/pullover (whatever you call it). i.e. copping a feel of someones titties.

It means to fool or trick someone.

thank you for it MRT, i see it now it is not sooooo funny when i see it now. maybe i have to get a whole new idea set. thank you ,
not so good ideas either of them i had.instead of fleece i can do one for SUEING

Lets get basic here;
The word 'Fleece' refers to the coat of wool on a sheeps back, or similar animal.
It also means to defraud, or rip-off. For example: "That cunt just fleeced me, he sold me a computer that doesn't work"
Not sure where the word comes from but it probably has something to do with shearing sheep. Taking the wool off their back.
Fleece can also be used to describe a jumper/pullover. Which is what elvis costello is referring to in that song you mentioned (I think).
HTH
