Lyrics for Recording Session Extract (Part 2) [Bonus Track]

Just me and my mate John again I know he's gonna like this little tune 'Cause, 'cause Dicky Palmer-James wrote the words If I only could deceive you Forgetting the game Every time I try to leave you You laugh just the same 'Cause my wheels never touch the road And the jumble of lies we told Just returns to my back to weigh me down We lay cards upon the table The backs of our hands And I swear I like your people The boys in the band Reminiscences gone astray Coming back to enjoy the fray In a tangle of night and daylight sounds... All completeness in the morning Asleep on your side I'll be waking up the crewmen Banana boat ride She responds like a limousine Brought alive on the silent screen To the shuddering breath of yesterday There's the succour of the needy Incredible scenes I'll believe you in the future Your life and death dreams As the cavalry of despair Takes a stand in the lady's hair For the favour of making sweet sixteen Easy money, take one Your admirers in the street Got to hoot and stamp their feet In the heat from your physique As you twinkle by in moccasin sneakers And I thought my heart would break When you doubled up the stake With your fingers all a-shake You could never tell a winner from a snake Easy money With your figure and your face Strutting out at every race Throw a glass around the place Show the colour of your crimson suspenders We could take the money home Sit around the family throne My old dog could chew his bone For two weeks we could appease the Almighty Easy money
