There you are outside, with your morning brew and eggs on toast
Checking the stock price, doing business coast to coast
Twenty four seven, need to keep an open eye on things.
Bloomberg's on TV, gotta catch your flight at JFK
New York to Sydney, deals to be done day after day
No time for reason, all you need is to make bankers sing.
[Pre-chorus]
Can't pause hours to think,
You're in a game of time and speed
Emotion's the weakest link,
All that counts is cold hard greed
[Chorus]
Oh, it's not enough you City girl
When all you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall
Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy
But it doesn't matter, when you're having fun
Sleep from 4 to 8, as night is day and day is night
You just don't wanna wait, 'cause the first is always right
FTSE to Nikkei, you hate to keep 'em all waiting.
Flying and counting, the costs they go up and up
But still you're trying, you can't let them see you stop
Never had time to say, "This life ain't worth time living."
[Pre-chorus]
Can't pause hours to think
You're in this game of time and speed
And love's the weakest link
'Cause all that counts is cold hard greed
[Chorus]
Oh, it's not enough you City girl
When all you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall
Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy
But it doesn't matter, 'cause you're having fun, fun, fun
[Instrumental bridge]
[Chorus]
Oh, it's not enough you City girl
When you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall
Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy
But it doesn't matter, when you're having nothing but fun, oh
[Chorus]
Oh, it's not enough you City girl
When you care about are the krugerrands locked in your vault
Wish you knew just how beautiful love really is
But you don't care, you just wanna be rich!
Wow, this is the first time I've written a full-length song after so many years. Horribly complex but worth it looking back on it now. Everyone, thank you for all your love and support.
