Upper Sixth Loan Shark/Banker Bets, Banker Wins

3 views

Lyrics

Where did it come from, where's it going?
 Upper sixth loan shark, numbers flowing
 From the pen that never forgets,
 Recording ledgers, each-way safe bets
 
 Fauntleroys and first form fags, allowances all overspent
 Pater's guilty generosity safely deposited against rainy day
 There's money in those goddamn hills
 Interest in sugar-coated bitter pills
 Margins made from Tompkins Minor
 Float aspirations, nothing finer...
 ♪
 Education, micro-managed
 MBA: A doddle mastered
 City-bound, Canary Wharf
 A cushy number, fluky bastard
 Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins
 ♪
 Hedge funds, wraps and equities
 Lackeys, aides in fierce attendance
 Trusts and gilts, reserve currencies
 Liquid gold in safe ascendance
 Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins
 ♪
 Treat myself to quality time,
 Test a porsche and snort a line,
 Eat Hermione for lunch
 Set that glum PA a-jumping,
 Book front-row tickets for something after we munch
 ♪
 Treat myself to quality time,
 Test a porsche and snort a line,
 Eat Hermione for lunch
 Set that glum PA a-jumping,
 Book front-row tickets for something after we munch
 ♪
 Fast-tracked futures, hard-nut traders
 Feeding frenzy, pigs a-troughing
 Fuelled by forecasts, and hot share options
 Big fat bonus in the offing
 Draconian calls for regulation
 Are drowned in latte with Starbucks muffin
 Mortgage melt-down: Non est mea culpa
 Threatened exit, stage left, laughing...
 Banker bets and banker wins, never missed yet, for all his sins.
 Banker bets, cheque's in the post: Not worth the ink it's written in
