Pound — текст песни (Luxuria)

Can you put a price upon

Every lingering breath

Can you work it out and say

What every minutes worth

Time is always money

And youre such a very heavy spender

Youre squeaky clean

Youre out of legal tender

Then ...



Certainty

Its so sexy

Youre too cold to drop

You could be eating

Ciba geigy goat cheese

You need to tell someone

To tell you when to stop



Theres only ever been

One soft option

One blank cheque

One deep breath

To take you up to the neck

You need more

Ill get you some

See me okay

With rimbaud bubblegum



So much goes to sally

So much goes to mack & nicholas

Youll get back your money

When the sublime

Meets the ridiculous

Bewitchingly ridiculous



You put your money where your mouth is

Your balance is astounding

Youre in for every penny

Youre in for every pounding



Look at you now

Powdered

Pounding

Now youre shilling

Out for any count



Any killing

You listen to the hours of your fingers flip flop

You need a franchise

Yamaha soda pop



Whats that funny smell?

Why arent you out earning?

Gimme your pittance, boy

The holes in your pockets

Theyre burning

I smell them burning



You put your money where your mouth is

And you can talk till doomsday

You cant 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 cant 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

Its changing all the time

Dont set the clocks

Against me again

Hard luck

Hard cash

But no hard feelings

I must dash

I have my feelings

I just cant say exactly when

I just cant say exactly when
