Ev'ryone is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar,
The bar is called heaven.
The band in heaven,
They play my favourite song.
They play it once again,
They play it all night long.


Chorus:
Heaven,
Heaven is a place,
A place where nothing,
Nothing ever happens.

-chorus-

There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

-chorus-

-chorus-

When this kiss is over it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all
Could be so exciting, could be so much fun.

-chorus-

I walk on stone, it leads me home.
We don't have streets, just pure concrete.
I'm not glad when i get home,
I'm sad old red, i don't wanna be alone.

Chorus:
Sad old red, sat at home.
Sad old red, living on his own.
Sad old red, sat at home.
Sad old red, let me take you home.

It's a cubic room, two hole peep through.
Shadows on the wall of trees so tall.
I think of her again, the joy she used to bring.
Lay there in bed two words she said.
She said "oh red" (repeat)

Sad old red, that's what i am.
All the time, every night,
Sad old red.

Listen boy, i'll tell you a thing.
I'll make you a career in the business i'm in.
I'll make you rich, i'll make you a toy,
I'll make you turn over into my little boy.
Y'see i'm going somewhere.
I don't know what i'm gonna do when i get there.

I know money's a thing - your only inspiration
And your only meaning.
You must think that all i do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when i will climb,
But i'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

1st. chorus:
Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a jericho wall.
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them.
If you ain't rich then you won't go to the ball.

Having mercy and licking up love,
And moving through your ocean like i've never had enough.
Y'see you ain't all i want,
You're everything and more that i have ever hoped for.
You must think that all i do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when i will climb,
But i'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

-1st chorus-

2nd chorus:
You won't go to the ball.
You won't go to the ball.
You won't go, you won't go,
You won't go to the ball.
(repeat)

You must think that all i do
Is spend my time making pretty pictures of you.
You can fall when i will climb,
But i'll be falling over just by having you in mind.

Mend that fight - oh listen to them
Kickin' up a ball inside a no.10 wall.
Mend that fight - it's all twisted through them.
I'm rich, you ain't, so you won't go to the ball
No more!

-2nd chorus-

Outro:
Yeah, if you ain't got nothing
You'll never go there
(repeat)
I tried to make you see
I tell you, i'd had enough.
Money was a thing, money was a thing,
Money was a thing that i believed in.
(repeat)

Why don't you look at the price i'm paying?
Walk in, take a look inside,
I've moved back the tables and chairs to the wall.
The valuable things i've had to hide.

Chorus:
Open up the red box.
Come on, open it up.
Open up the red box.
Come on, open it up.

Peer in, looking for that crasher again.
You ruined terry's party last night.
An overweight greasy little man with a mouth
That opens more than now and again.

-chorus-

Something good must have happened to you.
If you would let it happen to you,
If you could let it happen to you,
Something good would have happened.

Lopez, i hate you for the state you're in.
Lopez, your hair, it washes out, it washes in.
You ropey little fat boy, lopez.
Come on get lost.

-chorus-

Something good must have happened to you.
If you would let it happen to you,
If you could let it happen to you,
Something good would have happened.

I'm out of my head.

I been laid off from work my rent is due
My kids all need brand new shoes
So i went to the bank to see what they could do
They said son looks like bad luck got a hold on you

Money's too tight to mention
I can't get an unemployment extension
Money's too tight to mention

I went to my brother to see what he could do
He said brother i'd like to help but i'm unable to
So called on my father, father
Almighty father, he said

Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
Money's too tight to mention
I can't even qualify for my pension

We're talking 'bout reaganomics
Oh lord down in the congress
They're passing all kinds of bills
From up there on capitol hill, we've tried it

Money's too tight to mention
Oh money money money money
Money's too tight to mention
Cutbacks!

We're talking 'bout the dollar bill
And that old man who's over the hill
Now what are we all to do
When money's got a hold on you

Money's too tight etc.

We're talking 'bout money money
We're talking 'bout money money
