The Moneyground - The Kinks[00:00:00]
Robert owes half to Grenville[00:00:05]
Who in turn gave half to Larry[00:00:07]
Who adored my instrumentals[00:00:09]
And so he gave half to a foreign publisher[00:00:11]
She took half the money that was earned[00:00:14]
In some far distant land[00:00:16]
Gave back half to Larry and I end up[00:00:18]
With half of goodness knows what[00:00:21]
Oh can somebody explain why things go on this way[00:00:24]
I thought they were my friends I can't believe it's me [00:00:28]
I can't believe that I'm so green[00:00:33]
Eyes down round and round let's all sit[00:00:36]
And watch the moneygoround[00:00:40]
Everyone take a little bit here and a little bit there[00:00:41]
Do they all deserve money from a song that they've never heard[00:00:46]
They don't know the tune and they don't know the words[00:00:50]
But they don't give a damn[00:00:53]
There's no end to it I'm in a pit and I'm stuck in it[00:00:55]
The money goes round and around and around[00:00:58]
And it comes out here when they've all taken their share[00:01:00]
I went to see a solicitor and my story[00:01:10]
Was heard and the writs were served[00:01:12]
On the verge of a nervous breakdown[00:01:14]
I decided to fight right to the end[00:01:16]
But if I ever get my money I'll be too old and grey to spend it[00:01:19]
Oh but life goes on and on and no one ever wins[00:01:24]
And time goes quickly by just like the moneygoround[00:01:28]
I only hope that I'll survive[00:01:33]
