Jon English - Always The Busker lyrics

One for the money and two for the show Three for the busker who plays by the road They say life's a b**h, and then you die And if wishes were fishes then all pigs would fly But there's always a busker, so hey busker I... Well I once did a solo for Elton John He was stopped on my corner so I played him a song And for seven whole seconds he looked in my eye Then the lights turned to green and he left with a smile And we both thought but there, but for God's grace go I... I once shared a band with a girl named Lee We were singers and lovers in close harmony Ah, but this thing called fame creeps up so secretly And one day when I got home early for tea There was no video and no colour TV And a big empty bed where my Lee used to be Ah, but thousands of people march to my songs Some just ignore me and shuffle alo-ong Some others tip me, hah, and sometimes they sing right along... One for the money, two for the show Three for the busker who plays by the road Well, I ain't got no boss and I ain't got no plans Except what I play, hah, and perhaps where I stand And if you listen real close I can sound like a whole - damn - band Take it away Well, the bright side is I can still work anywhere 'Cause Springstein and I have the same crowds each day Guess the only real difference is how much they pay... It's OK then It's one for the money, two for the show Three for the busker who plays by the road They say life's a b**h, and then you die And if wishes were fishes then all pigs would fly But there's always the busker, so hey busker I...
