The Undertones - Fairly in the Money Now lyrics

Tommy always said he would make it one day Lead singer in a top show band So with some friends and latest tunes to play Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops In satin suits, all dressed to k** Soon Tommy's boys became Top of the Pops But then the money came over the hill But then the money came over the hill All the cash to spend on their girlfriends Howard Hughes it's best that you're dead And in their interest and manager's request They all bought their mansions All the cash to spend on their girlfriends Howard Hughes it's best that you're dead And in their interest and manager's request They all bought their mansions Hype-notised by every part that arrived Higher prices for indifferent songs But nevertheless big Tommy's into success So his Torpedoes kept plodding on And his Torpedoes keep plodding on
