JERICHO - SIMPLY RED

JERICHO (Simply Red, 1985)

Listen boy I'll tell you a thing
I'll make you a career in the business I'm in
I'll make you rich I'll make you a toy
I'll make you turn over into my little boy
you see I'm going somewhere
I don't know what I'm gonna do when I get there
You know money's a thing
your only inspiration and your only meaning
you must think that all I do
is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
you can fall when I will climb but
I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind.
Mend that fight oh listen to them
kicking up a ball inside a Jericho wall
Mend that fight all twisted through them
if you ain't rich then you won't go the ball
Havin' mercy and lickin' up love
and movin' through your ocean
like I've never had enough.
You see you ain't all I want
you're everything and more that I have ever hoped
for you must think that all I do
is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
you can fall when I will climb but
I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind.
Mend that fight oh listen to them
kicking up a ball inside a Jericho wall
Mend that fight all twisted through them
I'm rich you ain't so you won't go the ball
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
for you must think that all I do
is spend my time making pretty pictures of you
you can fall when I will climb but
I'll be falling over just by having you in my mind.
Mend that fight oh listen to them
kicking up a ball inside a Jericho wall
Mend that fight all twisted through them
I'm rich you ain't so you won't go the ball
