Lovely Money Lyrics by Damned
A-side of single, also appears on damned but not forgotten cd
(vanian/scabies/sensible/gray)
They come to see the dungeons here
The tourists flock from far and near
They do the tower and try the beer
The picking pockets cost your life
And every jury has a price
They bring the kids and show the wife
It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies
To drink at night in soho bars
And end up feeling sickie
And were all making money
Lovely money
Rubber necks with cash to burn
Export criminals return
They keep on coming, never learn
They fill their diaries page by page
And make it sound so thrilling
Theyre searching for the real thing
Theyre flushed and they are willing
And were all making money
Lovely money
The victors of the opium wars
Now take their trips and open doors
They stand upon the actual floors
Actual floors, actual floors
It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies
To drink at night in soho bars
And end up feeling sickie
