New York was too hot So we took a bus to Boston And in a thunderstorm all the trams broke down And we found ourselves in an old wooden house He paints the stars, puts them in their place He’s got an MBA and he moulds the Earth like clay He paints the stars, puts them in their place He’s got an MBA and he moulds the Earth like clay He’s got the gift of the gab And no mistake And I’m a lucky girl oh cos I’m spoken for, and he doesn’t take rejection very well He paints the stars, puts them in their place He’s got an MBA and he moulds the Earth like clay He paints the stars, puts them in their place He’s got an MBA and he moulds the Earth like clay He takes drunk Polish girl to the fire escape Calls it seduction, but she calls it something else It’s a dirty, dirty money man’s world, yes it is He’s entitled to take what he wants, So why shouldn’t he take what he wants When he can paint the stars any old day of the week, and there’s nothing you can do about it He paints the stars, puts them in their place He’s got an MBA and he moulds the Earth like clay In his own image, in his own image, in his own….

Button Blues 03:20
I knew you would be gone before too long So I stole a button off your coat All I wanted, all I really wanted Was to be in the songs that you wrote But you never saw me, you never saw me I was only ever a mirror No you never saw me, you never saw me I was only ever a mirror I knew you would be gone before too long So I stole a cigarette from your pack I knew you wouldn’t like it But I did it anyway, just to see how you would react But you never saw me, you never saw me I was only ever a mirror No you never saw me, you never saw me I was only ever a mirror But now I can be seen, and I can be heard And I know that it’s me with the final word And you don’t like it, well you don’t have to like it And you don’t like it, well you don’t have to like it

There’s a pub in a village, in the village next to mine In my youth I could often be found Making jokes with my friends there on a Friday night While I waited my sorrows to drown There’s an old wooden bar that’s seen better days And a rickety wooden chair One day in my way there was a young old man It was like he had always been there And I heard about your tailor And I heard about your suits But I only ever see this old thing So Pinstripe Billy don’t buy me no drinks Cos I don’t wanna owe you anything Well you talk a big game but you’re here every night Propping the bar in your black and your white As if one more whisky could make everything right Goodnight Billy goodnight And I heard about your tailor And I heard about your suits But I only ever see this old thing So Pinstripe Billy don’t buy me no drinks Cos I don’t wanna owe you anything It’s a shame, Billy such a shame Cos you know how much I love my drink It’s a shame, Billy such a shame Even I have depths to which I will not sink Depths to which to which I will not sink You say you got a daughter who’s about my age And some children you’ve never met Tell me now Billy what makes you drink Is it easier to forget? And I heard about your tailor And I heard about your suits But I only ever see this old thing So Pinstripe Billy don’t buy me no drinks Cos I don’t wanna owe you anything This man who makes your suits, you say that he’s the best But you mention that he is a Jew Well it’s very noble of you to say that you don’t mind But Billy I think that you do Now I heard about your tailor And I heard about your suits But I only ever see this old thing So Pinstripe Billy don’t buy me no drinks Cos I don’t wanna owe you anything It’s a shame, Billy such a shame Cos you know how much I love my drink It’s a shame, Billy such a shame Even I have depths to which I will not sink Depths to which to which I will not sink

Good to Me 02:47
I always knew there was a sadness in you That was drawn to the sadness in me You looked in my eyes, saw through my lies And somehow you knew what to do You were good to me when I didn’t deserve it On the upper deck of the bus to town And you made me see it could all be worth it If I just tried harder not to let myself down You were eleven when your Dad when to Heaven And I know you can’t believe in that place It’s hard to fake that feeling of Spring When there’s something you can’t replace You were good to me when I didn’t deserve it On the upper deck of the bus to town And you made me see it could all be worth it If I just tried harder not to let myself down Well I let myself down time and again and I didn’t deserve you as a friend But you scraped me up from off the floor A thousand times and then a thousand more You were good to me but I just couldn’t see I was just a kid on the 770
