"50 Quid Man" lyrics
"50 Quid Man"
I am not my brothers keeper
Nor am I to be considered a source of reason
But I'll tell you this for nothing
The mutton's dressed up like the lamb
Just off a flight from Amsterdam
Sends a message to the local fifty quid man
Said I am not my brothers keeper
Nor am I to be considered a source of treason
But I'll tell you this for nothing
The mutton's dressed up like the lamb
Just off a flight back from the Dam
Sends a message to the fifty quid man
He's got your back
The dodgy box
He'll lay your head out
With Little Rock's
He's on demand
It's the nifty fifty quid man
Said I am not my brothers keeper
Nor am I to be considered a source of treason
But with the pushing of that button
Self destruction is at hand
When you can't cope with feeling sad
You send a message to the fifty quid man
And when it's hard out
There'll be hard times don't you know
The bunnny in the beams
Is creeping out to get some dough
Just off a flight back from the dam
Sends a message to the fifty quid man
And when it's hard out
We've had hard times we all know
Sitting on a corner like a statue in the cold
Sends a message to her Mam
I'm sick and I'm tired of that fifty quid man
He's got your back
The dodgy box
He'll lay your head spark out
With Little Rock's
He's on demand
It's the nifty fifty quid man
Is it a bird?
Is it a plane?
Is it a bird is it a plane
Something ghoulish stepping from the rain?
Na it's the fifty quid man
Where's that fifty quid man

Amble - "Socrates Smiled" This morning I woke
Lashes long as the rushes
Wipe the sweat from my brow
Let the tap run dry
It's a hard knock life
Without the pushin'-shovin'
Do I mosey on by
With the sleep in my eyes
Oh call my...

Lead to dark nights
Lead to dark years
No light
First heard about your legend, Minnesota way back when
Taking from the rich and giving to your friends
And your friends were the poor, up...
Joan Shelley - "The Hum" Hum so that the spirits hear you come
So they are always near you always
At the shore, each wave an answer told before
You asked an ocean's knowing always
We are thrown by a world that's spinning...

Tryna lose some of what he'd seen
He had twenty-five years on the streets
Where the Lord does not intervene
Packed his shaving kit into a small suitcase...
