The Pound is Sinking — текст песни (Paul McCartney)

The pound is sinking

The pesos failing

The liras reeling

And feeling quite appalling

The mark is holding

The franc is fading

The drachmas very weak

But everyones still trading



The markets bottom

Has fallen right out

And only the strong are survivors



Well I fear, my dear

That its eminently clear

That you cant see the trees

For the forest

Your father was an

Extraordinary man

But you dont seem to have inherited

Many of his mannerisms



Oh, any of his mannerisms



The dollars moving

The roubles rising

The yen is keeping up

Which hardly seems surprising



The markets bottom

Has fallen right out

And only the strong are survivors



Hear me lover

I cant be held responsible now



For something that didnt happen

I knew you for a minute

Oh, it didnt happen

Only for a minute

Your heart just wasnt in it anymore



The pound is sinking

The pesos failing

The liras reeling

And feeling quite appalling
