The Moneygoround - 2014 Remaster

Robert owes half to Grenville
 Who in turn gave half to Larry, who
 Adored my instrumentals
 And so he gave half to a foreign publisher
 He took half the money
 That was earned in some far distant land
 Gave back half to Larry
 And I end up with half of goodness knows what
 Can somebody explain
 Why things go on this way
 I thought they were my friends
 I can't believe it's me
 I can't believe that I'm so green
 Eyes down round and round
 Let's all sit and watch the moneygoround
 Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there
 Do they all deserve
 Money from a song that they've never heard
 They don't know the tune, and they don't know the words, but they don't give a damn
 There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it
 The money goes round and around and around
 And it comes out here
 When they've all taken their share
 I went to see a solicitor and my story was heard and the writs were served
 On the verge of a nervous breakdown, I decided to fight right to the end
 But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it
 Oh, but life goes on and on, and no one ever wins
 And time goes quickly by, just like the moneygoround
 I only hope that I'll survive...
