| People said we couldn’t play
|
| The called us foul-mothed yobs
|
| But the only notes that really count
|
| Are the ones that come in wads
|
| They all drowned when the air turned blue
|
| 'Cos we didn’t give a toss
|
| Filthy lucre, ain’t nothing new
|
| But we all get cash from the chaos
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The greatest rock’n’roll swindle
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| E.M.I. |
| said you’re out of hand
|
| And they gave us the boot
|
| But they couldn’t sack us, just like that
|
| Without giving us the loot
|
| Thank you kindly A &M
|
| They said we were out of bounds
|
| But that ain’t bad for two weeks work
|
| And 75,000 pounds
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The greatest rock’n’roll swindle
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The greatest rock’n’roll swindle
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| I just wanna play with my hand
|
| Are you good enough for me
|
| Hiya boys I’m the choosen one
|
| Can’t you fucking see
|
| I’m a jealous god and I want everything
|
| And I love you with a knife
|
| I’ll take you, if you’re ready for me
|
| And I’ll give you my life
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The greatest rock’n’roll swindle
|
| The time is right to do it now
|
| The time is right for Nickey’s Special
|
| The greatest rock’n’roll star
|
| The time is right for me, now! |
