From the album The Cat Among the Pigeons, Mighty Boy, 1988.
He was playing for the traffic and the nine to fivers
Tooraloo you’re bound for Botany Bay
And he gave more to this world than all the penny pinching bastards
That turned around and looked the other way…
Bonus!
Too many Florence Nightingales
Not enough Robin Hoods
Too many halos not enough heroes
Coming up with the goods
So you thought you’d like to change the world
Decided to stage a jumble sale
For the poor, for the poor
So you thought you’d like to see them healed
Got Blue Peter to stage an appeal
For the poor, for the poor
It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean
Try shaking your box in front of the Queen
‘Cause her purse is fat and bursting at the seams
It’s a waste of time if you know what they mean…
