Paul Heaton - Lonesome and Sad Millionaire lyrics

[Verse 1] The heating's broken down in the west wing The tractor's stuck up in the field Most of the workforce I care to employ Ain't worth the harvest I yield The horses need feeding, radiators need bleeding The whole place is springing a leak The drive's overgrown, the garden's not mown And the phone hasn't rung in a week [Chorus 1] When I look for my friends and I check all the pubs It seems that not one of them's there I wish I could sing the same for my look I'm a lonesome and sad millionaire [Verse 2] The butcher's closed up in the 90s Post office, the rest just like that Every shop that I chose, either emptied or close Every time I pop in for a chat My big issue, delivered in rainstorm or blizzard So I don't touch the hand of the poor The gate is so high, the hedges touch the sky So it's only the butler what saw [Chorus 2] When I go to the bank and I check my account It's always okay, it's all there I wish I sing for the same for my friends I'm a lonesome and sad millionaire [Bridge] And they say there's a financial crisis And they say that austerity's king But these fountains don't flow where the money don't go And a cherub don't piss from a spring And now the planes are knee-deep to a giant And the water's coming in round my ears And the party they send, just like my friends Won't turn up to save me for years Won't turn up to save me for years [Chorus 1 variant] When I look for my friends and I check all the pubs It seems that not one of them's there I wish I could sing the same for my look I'm a lonesome and sad I'm a weary and bad I'm a lonesome and sad Millionaire Millionaire... Millionaire... Millionaire...
