"Bag Full Of Money" lyrics
"Bag Full Of Money"
Floating I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
Oh I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
'Cause I never had nothin' or no one to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank
Floating I'm floating...
And in the 101st they busted your hump
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump
Floating I'm floating...
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane
Floating I'm floating...
With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
'Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough
Floating I'm floating...

Small Faces - "The Universal" There's such a lot of good ways to be bad
And so many bad ways to be good
Haven't paid my rent yet
I tell them "Sorry, but I haven't got the money anymore"
Just for the day I thought I'd leave love...
The Moody Blues - "Go Now" We've already said ‘Goodbye’.
Since you've got to go
Oh you had better go now.
Go now. Go now. Go now
Before you see me cry.
I don't want you to tell me
Just what you intend to do now.
'Cause how...
The Zombies - "She's Not There" Well, no one told me about her
The way she lied
Well, no one told me about her
How many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know? Why should I care?
Please don't bother...
The Left Banke - "Walk Away Renee" And when I see the sign that points one way
The lot we used to pass by every day
Just walk away, Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
The empty sidewalks on my block are not the same
You're...
