Cockamamie Business lyrics

Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the BBC
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues at the Marquee
Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my virginity
In this Cockamamie Business

Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on the Soul Train
Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at Brain Drain
And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
In this Cockamamie Business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has no ozone ring
Still they`re chopping down the forest for McDonalds and the Burger King
Eating cows with such persistance - doesn`t offer much resistance
To this Cockamamie Business

There are too many things - stressing out the nervous system
Girls you used to know - fellas that may have kissed`em
Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got incurable diseases
From this Cockamamie Business

Everybody`s after as many points as they can get
As long as it`s not them that has to pay
No one really minds the Debt
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
With their Cockamamie Business

Well you do what you can - can`t do much more than that
(No you can`t do what he just said)
Some days you`re pretty sharp - on other days you feel half dead
(While you make your daily bread)
Didn`t want to be a star - wanted just to play guitar
In this Cockamamie Business
