Don't Come Cheap

My my, it's so cool when we pull the top down
Bye bye, to our cares as we speed along
Why-why is it you that grabs all the glory
I wish this car was mine

It don't come cheap
And the harder I work, the more I slip past the deadlines
And it seems
That talentless drones are elbowing me aside
But I can't sleep
Cos every unconscious hour could put me on the breadline
And greed is the only little thing
That's going to keep me alive

Hooray - we're in your penthouse apartment
And you say that you picked it up for a song
One day I'm sure luck will smile upon me
I wish this flat was mine

Well I try to be thoughtful and supportive
I try to be there when you need me most
But you lied when you told me that you love me, yeah
I wish this girl was mine

She don't come cheap
And the harder I work, the more she won't show the laugh lines
And it seems
That all of her friends are elbowing me aside
But I can't sleep
Cos every unconscious hour could dump me onto Dateline
And love is the only little thing
That's going to keep me alive
