Can you put a price upon
|
every lingering breath
|
can you work it out and say
|
what every minute's worth
|
time is always money
|
and you're such a very heavy spender
|
you're squeaky clean
|
you're out of legal tender
|
then ...
|
|
Certainty
|
it's so sexy
|
you're too cold to drop
|
you could be eating
|
Ciba Geigy goat cheese
|
you need to tell someone
|
to tell you when to stop
|
|
There's only ever been
|
one soft option
|
one blank cheque
|
one deep breath
|
to take you up to the neck
|
you need more
|
I'll get you some
|
see me okay
|
with Rimbaud bubblegum
|
|
So much goes to Sally
|
so much goes to Mack & Nicholas
|
you'll get back your money
|
when the sublime
|
meets the ridiculous
|
bewitchingly ridiculous
|
|
You put your money where your mouth is
|
your balance is astounding
|
you're in for every penny
|
you're in for every pounding
|
|
Look at you now
|
powdered
|
pounding
|
now you're shilling
|
out for any count
|
|
any killing
|
you listen to the hours of your fingers flip flop
|
you need a franchise
|
Yamaha soda pop
|
|
What's that funny smell?
|
why aren't you out earning?
|
gimme your pittance, boy
|
the holes in your pockets
|
they're burning
|
I smell them burning
|
|
You put your money where your mouth is
|
and you can talk till doomsday
|
you can't take it with you, son
|
the hours of your fingers
|
tap on an empty urn
|
unless you let things take forever
|
they never get done
|
unless you let things take forever
|
they never get done
|
|
This is what I mean by my money
|
this is what I mean by my money
|
|
You put your money where your mouth is
|
and you can talk till doomsday
|
you can't take it with you, son
|
the hours of your fingers
|
tap on an empty urn
|
unless you let things take forever
|
they never get done
|
|
The real cost of living
|
it's changing all the time
|
don't set the clocks
|
against me again
|
hard luck
|
hard cash
|
but no hard feelings
|
I must dash
|
I have my feelings
|
I just can't say exactly when
|
I just can't say exactly when
|
