which hi-fi?

WHICH HI-FI?

Even the big start small, kicking cans around the block
Full wallet walking tall, have to protect what you've got

Well I'd like to leave mine to charity
but heard nasty rumours in the family
Loving favours asked in haste
Oh what's the secret of my case?
As care unheard of comes to town
Descendents follow me around
and I thought I had time left still
Dig the problematic will
And oh if the world was in tune
my value it would decrease
Ha ha ha the world in tune
The possibilities increase

Use cash to save the people knowing
about this hell I'm going through
Some chance, my advisors keep on showing
me the things that I could do
Like save it for that far off day
Relatives expect so much
as they mourn you passed away
"He always was a soft touch
and always remembered his friends
cracked it smart but kept his roots"
Read - always a means to an end
Smart my arse, cries for the loot

I thought of starting my own circus with life's contradictions
Vegetarians with cats, oh life's contradictions
See elephants hang from the top of the big top
The knife throwers don't know when to stop
Clowns that'll make you cry
The muscle man as funny guy
An active sort who stays in bed
A lion's mouth with chewed-up head
Gags of sex and politics to "I only came here with the kids"
Sidesteppers of the tightrope
Mice scare tigers, fire eaters choke
Someone's legalizing dope, some hope
because ideas are castrated small
You don't fuck about with the economy
Clinking coins walking tall
So back at home with a family...

My father recommended this accountant
He did well for himself, my dad
He died recently of alcohol liver
but left us the best times he ever had
A life of my own, an admirable idea,
the cause is grateful, life expectancy nil
There's no looking for the second coming
Oh no here comes the barman's till
A swift one afore I go -
Our fee for this show is five hundred quid
That's ten weeks on the dole
Finance! Wow! The Nightingales lift the lid
