lyrics

Just as he got his head on straight
His body fell apart
A life of adventure lay in wait
But he never was that smart
In one semi quaver
He’s sadder but braver
The new village burner
Is a nice little earner

Money don’t count
When you’re climbing up the mount
Money don’t count
When you’re trying to get out

Every time she speaks
It’s like a flashbulb going off
Kisses on both cheeks
And a snout lost in the trough
When one boy smothers
She conjures up others
In chorus girl outfits
Her antennae transmits

Money don’t count...

Reflections in your spoon
So tiny and distorted
Like a child you never had
Alone and unsupported

Eliminate those old regrets
You always blame your mother
Your wager moves to safer bets
Your sisters and your brothers
They’ll never desert you
You know they won’t hurt you
They share your code of honour
Now you know you’re a goner

Money don’t count...
