lyrics

Do you know what you're saying, Eddie?
Do you think that it's all just a joke?
We won't be forgiven for what we have done
Why would you want to tell anyone?

Do you know what you're doing to me?
We've got the cash in the bag
With just ten more hours to be in the clear
Easy Street's never seemed so near

Easy Street:
Where the trees hang down in endless day
And we stand above and drink and survey
And never ask a price again
No more hotels and chamber maids to leave without a trace
No saving soaps and kitchen raids, we'll buy the fucking place

I know we'll always have our problems
But I'd rather be rich than poor
They say that wealth can mess your mind up
But I don't want to close that door
Misery brings strength
And I'm sure that's a rare and wondrous feeling!
But I'd rather be rich than poor
No one is ever always happy ...

Some people say that we are the ones
Who are bringing the country down
But then I stop and I look around
And things they look bad all around
Two happier people in this world has got to be a good thing

Do you know what you're saying, Eddie?
Can I trust you to keep to the plan?
Just tell me you love me, don't walk out that door
Don't make me show you what this is for
