The Complete Banker

Lyrics

Can anyone lend me ten billion quid?
 Why do you look so glum? Was it something I did?
 So I caused a second great depression, what can I say
 I guess I got a bit carried away
 If I say I'm sorry will you give me the money?
 You know me
 The complete banker in a black Bentley
 Sweet Samantha riding next to me
 Oh how I hanker for the good old days
 When I was free
 The complete banker in my Armani
 Before the rancour and disharmony
 Well money makes the world go round
 And round and down the drain
 We went to war on the floor of the exchange
 To all of us it was just a big game
 But God I loved it, making a profit from somebody's loss
 I never knew exactly whose money it was
 And I did not care as long as there was lots for me
 The complete banker in a black Bentley
 Sweet Samantha riding next to me
 Oh how I hanker for the good old days
 When I was free,
 The complete banker in my Armani
 Before the anger and the inquiries
 Well money makes the world go round
 And round and down the drain
 We'll learn the lessons, run tests and analyse
 We'll crunch the numbers cause the numbers never lie
 Maybe this recession is a blessing in disguise
 We can build a much much bigger bubble the next time
 And leave the rest to clean our mess up
 Well that's just me
 The complete banker in a black Bentley
 Margaret Thatcher riding next to me
 Oh how I hanker for the good old days
 When I was free
 I'm the complete banker
 I'm a conscience-free malignant cancer on society
 And one day you'll let your guard down
 And I'll come round again
