People said we couldn't play
|
The called us foul-mothed yobs
|
But the only notes that really count
|
Are the ones that come in wads
|
|
They all drowned when the air turned blue
|
'Cos we didn't give a toss
|
Filthy lucre, ain't nothing new
|
But we all get cash from the chaos
|
|
The time is right to do it now
|
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
|
The time is right to do it now
|
|
E.M.I. said you're out of hand
|
And they gave us the boot
|
But they couldn't sack us, just like that
|
Without giving us the loot
|
|
Thank you kindly A & M
|
They said we were out of bounds
|
But that ain't bad for two weeks work
|
And 75,000 pounds
|
|
The time is right to do it now
|
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
|
The time is right to do it now
|
|
The time is right to do it now
|
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
|
The time is right to do it now
|
|
I just wanna play with my band
|
Are you good enough for me
|
Hiya boys I'm the choosen one
|
Can't you fucking see
|
|
I'm a jealous god and I want everything
|
And I love you with a knife
|
I'll take you, if you're ready for me
|
And I'll give you my life
|
|
The time is right to do it now
|
The greatest rock'n'roll swindle
|
The time is right to do it now
|
|
The time is right for Nickey's Special
|
The greatest rock'n'roll star
|
The time is right for me, now!
