Marianne Faithfull - Covetousness Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Family
  • Anna, so the papers say,
  • Is now set up in baltimore:
  • Lots of folk seem to be shooting themselves for her.
  • She must be near to the top and raking it in,
  • To get in the news like that!
  • Well, so far, so good; to be talked about
  • Helps a young girl up the ladder.
  • Let her beware of overdoing it!
  • Some people might think she was mean;
  • Folks shy away from a girl whos said to be mean;
  • Folks give a wide wide berth
  • To those who grab all they can get,
  • Point unfriendly fingers at
  • Those whose greed goes beyond all bounds.
  • In the measure you give
  • You will surely be given,
  • And as you do, so will you be done by:
  • Fair is fair.
  • All must keep this law.
  • We sincerely hope our smart little anna
  • Also has common sense
  • And will let them keep a shirt or two
  • When she lets them go for good.
  • Shameless boarders earn themselves a bad name.
