Lovely Money

The Damned

A-side of single, also appears on 'Damned But Not Forgotten' CD
 
(Vanian/Scabies/Sensible/Gray)
They come to see the dungeons here
The tourists flock from far and near
They do the tower and try the beer
 
The picking pockets cost your life
And every jury has a price 
They bring the kids and show the wife
 
It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies 
To drink at night in Soho bars 
And end up feeling sickie
And we're all making money 
Lovely money
 
Rubber necks with cash to burn 
Export criminals return
They keep on coming, never learn
 
They fill their diaries page by page
And make it sound so thrilling 
They're searching for the real thing
They're flushed and they are willing
And we're all making money 
Lovely money
 
The victors of the opium wars 
Now take their trips and open doors
They stand upon the actual floors
Actual floors, actual floors 
 
It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies 
To drink at night in Soho bars 
And end up feeling sickie
 
More money, more money
More money, more money
 
Now off you go, away you fly 
We've had your money now goodbye
We fleeced you good we bled you dry
Goodbye goodbye
