The Book Club - "Wheelbarrows For Wallets"

The red tops tell us we're drowning,
And the broadsheets say we're using too much water,
But I can't help but start smiling,
At least something has brought us together.

The knives and the fingers are pointing,
But when you have a moat you should expect invaders,
And how we all like the villain,
Whilst we play the role of the pantomime dame.

So instead of finding someone to blame,
Why don't you think about yourself for a change,
Instead of finding records to stain,
Why don't you think about yourself...
Think about yourself.

Brought up to bring down those who have the plan,
Well maybe one day you will be that man,
And when all around you begin to chastise,
You clench your fists and you will shut your eyes,
If you don't like it you can move to Spain,
Where there's plenty of racists and not enough rain.

Instead of finding someone to blame,
Why don't you think about yourself for a change,
Instead of finding records to stain,
Why don't you think about yourself...
Think about yourself.

'Cause some remember three million people on butter and bread,
Can't even afford to bury the dead,
Now that was a winter of discontent,
Oh can't you feel the cold?

And over the water when Weimar collapsed,
Wheelbarrows for wallets, newspapers for mattresses,
Does that make you feel that perhaps,
You don't feel so cold?

But when winter begins to thaw and the electric curtain falls, what you want and what you need come closer than ever before. Their lips almost touch. That's where The Book Club will meet you. Legs akimbo. ... more
