Clean Money - Elvis Costello, The Attractions

Paydays coming and we wash it away

Clean money, clean money

Paydays coming and we wash it away

Clean money, clean money

Thats what I want to do

I want to spend it on you

Checking on a checkmate

Grassing on a classmate

So beautiful and fortunate

He hates to love, you love to hate

He can fix you for good

cause he is the neighborhood

You cant get money for blood

Blood money for doin no good

But they wont take my love for tender

Paydays coming and we wash it away

Clean money, clean money

Paydays coming and we wash it away

Clean money, clean money

Thats what I want to do

I want to spend it on you

Have you made your selection?

Are you ready for correction?

cause the wages of sin

Are an expensive infection

And its under the counter

Under the geiger counter

Who stole your thunder?

But they wont take my love for tender
