Threadneedle Street

(album: The Special Collectors Edition - 1994)

The time has come not to be cautious
You must be careful not to make mistakes
For every half-hour in twenty-four
And operations rose faster than they did yesterday
And the lending rate's on your side
So there won't be much of a problem
Then past midnight, there is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous and sees a change
Today in futures

Oh la la, oh la la, oh la la
Oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

Watch the markets move from a screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Read tomorrow's crash today and check your pulse
Base metals crawled onto the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth of a rude girl
Who knew a better option
She thinks for while
And it could be a long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers and looks again
Today in futures

Oh la la, oh la la, oh la la
Oh la la, oh la la, oh la la

Today in futures
Futures, futures, futures
Futures, futures, futures
Futures, futures, futures
Futures, futures, futures
