Gold And Silver
Levellers · Hello Pig [2000]
While counting your change
That's what you do
Take a walk in the town
That saw you drown
That's what you do
Chance come and make me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got
Dance before me in a glass
Was the closest that I ever got
Rubies Diamonds
All that you've got
Crawling over broken glass
Can't buy you love
Lights are erased
Get out of my way
So much to do
The bills that you pay
Are here to stay
One more for you
Love please believe me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got
Dance before me in a glass
Was that closest that I ever got
Rubies Diamonds
All that you've go
t Crawling over broken glass
Can't buy you love
Brass and tin
For your sins
Thank you

That's what you do
Looking so tired
Hired and Fired
That's what you do
Breath don't forsake me
These times are for taking
Gold and silver
All that you've got
Dance before me in a glass
Was that closest that I ever got
Rubies Diamonds
All that you've got
Crawling over broken glass
Can't buy you love
