Pete Townshend - Put The Money Down lyrics

I got lost in the back streets trying to get here tonight Police were asking questions Took me to the wrong place twice They even lost my pa**port and I forgot my name and town But now I'm here by the water Put the money down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down down There are people k**ing chickens Hero's getting pushed around round round Don't know if I can trust you You try to put me down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down down Put the money down Put it in a tin cup Take a gla** of this light brown ale And a purple pill If the police don't get you to Sure as hell the purple pill will Oh Mummy Mummy Please may I go downtown He's gonna walk on the water Put the money down Just put your money down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down down Put the money down There are people k**ing chickens And Hero's getting pushed around round round Don't know if I can trust you You try to shoot me down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down down Put the money down 'Twas a beautiful day in Columbus when the fences fell. But the five loaves and the fishes ain't gonna be much help Cos I've got a hungry juggler here who's got to keep ahead Before he walks over the water he's gotta have his bread Put it in a tin cup I got lost in the back streets trying to get here tonight I had to ask for directions Got me to the wrong place twice I even lost my pa**port and I forgot my name and town But now I'm here by the water Put the money down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down Put the money down There are people k**ing chickens And Hero's getting pushed around round round Don't know if I can trust you You try to shoot me down Before I walk on the water Put the money down down down Put the money down
