Just For Money

(album: Paul Hardcastle - 1985)

Glasgow station, the royal mail train is loaded with over two and a half million pounds
That's more money than most people can dream of
But then some people have big dreams

What if we get caught?
'Course we won't!
But say we do?
Don't worry just think about the money
Imagine what you can do with it
This is the last job I'm gonna do
I'm in for this one then I'm out
It's a life of luxury my son
I'm off to Spain and that's it
Go to Spain, this is gonna be the crime of the century!

Some are willing to murder for a night out on the town
Others hang around you when there's lots of it around
But worst of all are people who really have no need
They do it for these reasons in spite and out of greed
Just for money

Valentine's day red roses
It's said that some have died for love
In North Clark Street, Chicago
They died for money, died for money

Cops always line you up with your nose in the bricks
They'll expect that once their backs are turned
We'll just pepper the wall with them
You got the cops?
Couple of guys from out of town
I've used 'em before
They're clean, don't worry
Hey, I'm paying you
Worry!
It's gonna be a messy business
Our business their mess
You know it's valentine's day, al
You want I should leave a message?
Yeah, it's a good day to die

Some are willing to murder for a night out on the town
Others hang around you when there's lots of it around
But worst of all are people who really have no need
They do it for these reasons in spite and out of greed
Just for money

Money
Think about the money!
It's a life of luxury, my son
Money
It's a life of luxury
Think about the money
Two or three hundred thousand pounds
Think about the money
Imagine what you can do with it
Fifty million dollars a year
Imagine what you can do with it

Some are willing to murder for a night out on the town
Others hang around you when there's lots of it around
But worst of all are people who really have no need
They do it for these reasons in spite and out of greed
Just for money

This is gonna be the crime of the century
Two and a half million pounds just for money
This is gonna be the crime of the century
More money than you would ever dream of just for money
Don't worry, just think about the money
I'm in for this one then I'm out
Imagine what you can do with it
Just for money this is gonna be the crime of the century
I'm in for this one then I'm out
Just think about the money
Just for money I'm gonna buy a roller
Just don't mess it up
Or the only place you'll be going is the scrubs
The scrubs
The scrubs just for money
I'm going to South America
Sit in a bar and drink champagne
Don't mess it up or the only bars you'll be seeing I'll be on your window
Just for money [?]
