Big Country

Eggplant

Don’t change me

So keep me right

Don’t hurt me

So hold me tight

Don’t desert me

So keep me inside

My old man’s got a really nice number

He’s on pay as you earn

He’s got money to burn

And his brother runs a dodgy little business

Selling fish eggs to the farmers

While his misses takes sewing from the

woman next door

And her brother’s got a job at Ford doing them

Little silly bits are

Now in the windows

What the windows

Well the side windows

Money can’t change me

Money can’t save me from the taxman

Money will make you money oh yea

Money will make you money oh yea

Money can make some money oh yea

I want some of your money oh yea

[?] give his money to the bloody taxman

Now I’ll explode just get my (goat/coat[?])

Cause I never had a stolen a ten bob note

Last night you wiped your feet like I’m a rug

And I crawled like I was a bug

Then made to feel like I was a slug

Oh life’s a drag when you’re a snail

A strong smell of turpentine prevails

Let us know let us know what tomato may

bring

It may be a strange ballad

[?]

But I never liked salad

[?]

Money can’t change me

Money can’t save me from the taxman

[?]

Taxman he’s the taxman oh yea [changed entire line]

Money will make you money oh yea

Money can make some money oh yea

I want some of your money oh yea

Here them say [added entire line]

There’s a message from the nation

From the police foundation

They’re gonna [?] taxation

For your own salvation

And a big eruption

And a persecution

When I make a foundation

Don’t change me

So keep me right

Don’t hurt me

So hold me tight

Don’t desert me

So keep me inside

Don’t think about it

So hold me tight

I’m against crustation

Don’t change me

See sterilisation

So keep me right

And to my frustration

Don’t hurt me

Then immunization

So hold me tight

Mass hesitation

Don’t desert me

And to my indignation

So keep me inside

I see your castration

Don’t think about it

And then big germination

So hold me tight

I see God visitation

[?] on TV nation

And then simulation

Is our big frustration

And then big crustacean

Have no sanitation

Man I have no explanation

But I give them (salutation/saltation[?])

And in my adulation

I will have infuriation

Like a big impregnation

Big big fertilization go!
