Where The Mouth Is - Peter Hammill

作词：Peter Hammill

作曲：Peter Hammill

Money where the mouth is

Pennies on the eyes

Yeah times are hard and you find

That you in trouble

But it hard to sympathize

You talk up quite a story you blow

The bubble well

Money where the mouth is silver tongue the sell

Put up or shut up

Cut price or cut up

Put up or shut up

Money where the mouth is will

There be just desserts

White collar crime yeah the summing up

Will reckon surely nobody got hurt

Hey offer jam tomorrow the cash will do quite well

With your fair shares for all

Try to practice what you preach

When they ring that Lutine bell

Hey put your money where your mouth is

And hope the money talk will

Spring you from the cell

We heard the empty promises

The barely veiled threats

We yet to see the colour of the money now

We yet to see it

Oh but we get to see it you bet

Put up or shut up

Cut price or cut up

Put the money where the mouth is

Money where the mouth is

Money where the mouth is

Yeah you copped for quite a lot

But everything you got fell off

The back end of the yacht

You did your best to grease the machinery

You shut us out of the talking shop

The desks are empty when the buck full stops

Hey you put your money

Where your mouth was not

You put your money where your mouth was not

Well put the money where the mouth is

Snuffling in the trough

Yeah put your money where your mouth is

With the pigs in the trough

where the mouth is
