Don’t change me
So keep me right
Don’t hurt me
So hold me tight
Don’t desert me
So keep me inside
My old man’s got a really nice number
He’s on pay as you earn
He’s got money to burn
And his brother runs a dodgy little business
Selling fish eggs to the farmers
While his misses takes sewing from the
woman next door
And her brother’s got a job at Ford doing them
little bits are
Now in the windows
What the windows
Well the side windows
Money can’t change me
Money can’t save me from the taxman
Money will make you money oh yea
Money will make you money oh yea
Money can make some money oh yea
I want some of your money oh yea
give his money to the bloody taxman
Now I’ll explode just get my [goat/coat]
Cause I never had a stolen a ten bob note
Last night you wiped your feet like I’m a rug
And I crawled like I was a bug
Then made to feel like I was a slug
Oh life’s a drag when you’re a snail
A strong smell of turpentine prevails
Let us know let us know what tomato may
bring
It may be a strange ballad
(Background vocals:
But I never liked salad
(Background vocals:
Money can’t change me
Money can’t save me from the taxman
(Background vocals: )
Taxman he’s the taxman oh yea {changed
entire line}
Money will make you money oh yea
Money can make some money oh yea
I want some of your money oh yea
Here them say {added entire line}
There’s a message from the nation
From the police foundation
They’re gonna taxation
For your own salvation
And a big eruption
And a persecution
When I make a foundation
Don’t change me
So keep me right
Don’t hurt me
So hold me tight
Don’t desert me
So keep me inside
Don’t think about it
So hold me tight
I’m against crustation
Don’t change me
See sterilisation
So keep me right
And to my frustration
Don’t hurt me
Then immunization
So hold me tight
Mass hesitation
Don’t desert me
And to my indignation
So keep me inside
I see your castration
Don’t think about it
And then big germination
So hold me tight
I see God visitation
on TV nation
And then simulation
Is our big frustration
And then big crustacean
Have no sanitation
Man I have no explanation
But I give them [salutation/saltation]
And in my adulation
I will have infuriation
Like a big impregnation
Big big fertilization go!
