some of the clothes you stole
from your lovers home
make you glow in the dark -
make you light up
the room on your own
formative years were a drag
but we passed the time somehow
i´m in a cahoots with the
upper classes now

put it all in a trust fund
she can´t touch ´till she´s twenty one
amazing the cruel hand of fate
a tax loss against the state
you had to move three times this year
i´d rather be any where but there
the champagne highs and the giddy
lights - are paradise

house guest is here
can´t believe that the vanishing point appeared
can hardly believe
- people live in houses behind trees
formative years were a drag
but we passed the time somehow
i´m in a cahoots with the upper classes now

that cunt´s really got it sussed
selling wine, selling drugs
you can´t get so far whit a pershing wit
but the money´s in trust - isn´t it?
what treasures can you hold and name
you don´t have the right face
the champagne highs and the giddy lights
- are paradise

some of your friends,from your other life
just don´t belong
they´re crude and they´re plain
it´s not their fault
it´s the world they´re from
(and) you can´t come here no more
unless you use the tradesmans door

there´s nothing wrong with inherited wealth
if you melt the silver - yourself
put it all in a trust fund
she can´t touch ´till she´s twenty one
the champagne highs and the giddy lights
- are paradise

some of the clothes you stole
from your lovers home
are better than the clothes
we stole from the
shops in our own
i´m in a cahoots with the
upper classes now
