"Monkey Business" lyrics
"Monkey Business"
Another cat amongst the pigeons
Another spanner in the scheme of things
I don't know why it shakes them up so much
They're so out of touch with me
It isn't easy finding something new
The bible bashers beat you black and blue
Fire and brimstone raining down on you
But you know it's true, they know what they can do
Monkey business, mankind
I've got a theory that will blow your mind
Monkey business, you'll see
I got you swinging from swinging from tree to tree
I'm never sure about what they want
They put their collars on back to front
They got their answers and they don't like mine
But I'm only trying to help
They say I should be full of shame and dread
They point to Genesis and shake their head
They don't know what it is they makes them tick
But I've news for them and it's not so romantic
Monkey business, mankind
I've got a theory that will blow your mind
Monkey business, you'll see
I've got you swinging from tree to tree
Monkey business, mankind
I've got a theory that will blow your mind
Monkey business, you'll see
You got an ape in your family tree
We don't want monkey business
We don't want monkey business
Monkey business, mankind
I've got a theory that will blow your mind
Monkey business, you'll see
You've got an ape in your family tree

A change of mind
Another start, a brand new day
You know I'll...
Wet Wet Wet - "Sweet Little Mystery" My love has taken a tumble
Oh, but I'm still standing
You're such a natural, sing,

Propaganda - "Duel" Eye to eye stand winners and losers
Hurt by envy, cut by greed
Face to face with their own disillusions
The scars of old romances still on their cheeks
And when blow by blow
The passion dies sweet...
Midge Ure - "The Man Who Sold The World" We passed upon the stair
We spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there
He said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise
I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone
A long long time ago
Oh...
Eurythmics - "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" Sweet dreams are made of this
Who am I to disagree?
I've traveled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's lookin' for something
Some of them want to use you
Some of them want to get used by you...
