Big Business in Europe - The Delgados

Situation’s been declined

What is yours is yours is mine

Keep the steady income low

'Til they got me to shine (and shining so)

What is wrong with wasting all you’ve got to show?

What you’re worth is what you know

To them

(Got me defying, magnifying)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Taking lessons, taking time

Lose yourself in petty crime

No-one else to fear and time to grow

(Up and climbing, climbing so)

If I feel like having someone make my day

I’ll find someone, make him pay today

(I've been trying, terrifying)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey

(High juice in my mouth)

(Easy as a crosstown)

(Easy now is never how)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

(Tin sounds all around)

(Cleaner in the morning)

(Clearer now they can’t be found)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Take a walk and try to learn

Precious time with precious sound

Who’s to say there’s none to send?

What is wrong with wasting all you’ve got to show?

What you’re worth is what you know

(I'm not clearer, never freer)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey

(Pictures in my ear)

(I can make it nicer, I can make it sound clear)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

(Young hands flying by)

(Easy on the uphill, faster down the bullet sky)

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

Hey boy, hey boy

In time we’ll end this session

I’m making plans for new attentions

In time we’ll start to question

But for the moment I’ll hold my mention

Hold my mention

Stop
