The family jewels

[fenderbender]

 
I tell you -this is a great pen-glad I found it again-

I heard a politician say just the other day
That we the Irish don't own our country now anyway
Its been sold to foreign investors in a far distant land
Just to satisfy Angela and her EU band

Ch.
Oh money makes the world go round
and back handers too
brown envelopes a nod and a wink
If that's alright with you
Now everything is owned by someone in a foreign land
So hold on to your family jewels
they will end up in someones hand
=
Seems to me someone is making money
just playing a game
How can they try and make us pay for water
when it's always xissing down
seems to me someone is making big handy buck
We should all stand up refuse to pay
And tell them to go and ..........

Ch==

Our oil,gas and electricity
is owned by someone else
With fancy names and titles that really make no sense
Centrina,Viola and GBK
Who they hell are they
And gave them the nod and the wink
to buy it up anyway
Ch====
Oh money makes............

Excellent lyric, Tommy! Very ironic song with top class performance!

Was this recorded on BR-600 or BR-800? Do you remember the guitar preset? It sounds very clear...

Ain't that the truth now - as someone famous probably said!  You always bring a smile to my face, Tommy.
