Split Sides

The City Girl

There you are outside, with your morning brew and eggs on toast

Checking the stock price, doing business coast to coast

Twenty four seven, need to keep an open eye on things.

Bloomberg's on TV, gotta catch your flight at JFK

New York to Sydney, deals to be done day after day

No time for reason, all you need is to make bankers sing.

[Pre-chorus]

Can't pause hours to think,

You're in a game of time and speed

Emotion's the weakest link,

All that counts is cold hard greed

[Chorus]

Oh, it's not enough you City girl

When all you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall

Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy

But it doesn't matter, when you're having fun

Sleep from 4 to 8, as night is day and day is night

You just don't wanna wait, 'cause the first is always right

FTSE to Nikkei, you hate to keep 'em all waiting.

Flying and counting, the costs they go up and up

But still you're trying, you can't let them see you stop

Never had time to say, "This life ain't worth time living."

[Pre-chorus]

Can't pause hours to think

You're in this game of time and speed

And love's the weakest link

'Cause all that counts is cold hard greed

[Chorus]

Oh, it's not enough you City girl

When all you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall

Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy

But it doesn't matter, 'cause you're having fun, fun, fun

[Instrumental bridge]

[Chorus]

Oh, it's not enough you City girl

When you care about is that Monet hanging on your wall

Oh, love is cheap and a passing fancy

But it doesn't matter, when you're having nothing but fun, oh

[Chorus]

Oh, it's not enough you City girl

When you care about are the krugerrands locked in your vault

Wish you knew just how beautiful love really is

But you don't care, you just wanna be rich!

Wow, this is the first time I've written a full-length song after so many years. Horribly complex but worth it looking back on it now. Everyone, thank you for all your love and support.
