Lyrics
0:58It's difficult It's very tough
1:04I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough
1:09To sit within a fragrant breeze
1:15All among the nodding trees
1:19That hang heavy with the stuff
1:29He threw his arms around my neck
1:36He brushed the tear from my cheek
1:41And held my soft white hand
1:47He was an understanding man
1:51He did not even barely hardly speak
1:59Easy money
2:07Rain it down on the wife and the kids
2:10Rain it down on the house where we live
2:14Rain until you got nothing left to give
2:17And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
2:43All the things for which my heart yearns
2:49Gives joy in diminishing returns
2:54He kissed me on the mouth
3:00His hands they headed south
3:04And my cheek it burned
3:14Money man it is a *****
3:20The poor they spoil it for the rich
3:26With my face pressed in the clover
3:31I wondered when this would be over
3:35And at home we are all so guilty-sad
3:43Easy money
3:52Pour it down the open drain
3:55Pour it all through my veins
3:58Pour it down yeah let it rain
4:02And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me
4:41Now I'm sitting pretty down on the bank
4:48Life shuffles past at a low interest rate
4:52In the money-coloured meadows
4:59And all the interesting shadows
5:02They leap up then dissipate
5:10Easy money
5:17Easy money
5:24Easy money
5:29Rain it down on the wife and the kids
5:32Rain it down on the house where we live
5:35Rain it down until you got nothing left to give
5:38And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me
5:47Easy money
5:54Easy money
6:00Easy money
6:07Easy money
6:14Easy money
6:20Easy money
It's difficult It's very tough I said to the man who'd been sleeping rough To sit within a fragrant breeze All among the nodding trees That hang heavy with the stuff He threw his arms around my neck He brushed the tear from my cheek And held my soft white hand He was an understanding man He did not even barely hardly speak Easy money Rain it down on the wife and the kids Rain it down on the house where we live Rain until you got nothing left to give And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me All the things for which my heart yearns Gives joy in diminishing returns He kissed me on the mouth His hands they headed south And my cheek it burned Money man it is a ***** The poor they spoil it for the rich With my face pressed in the clover I wondered when this would be over And at home we are all so guilty-sad Easy money Pour it down the open drain Pour it all through my veins Pour it down yeah let it rain And pour that ever-loving stuff down on me Now I'm sitting pretty down on the bank Life shuffles past at a low interest rate In the money-coloured meadows And all the interesting shadows They leap up then dissipate Easy money Easy money Easy money Rain it down on the wife and the kids Rain it down on the house where we live Rain it down until you got nothing left to give And rain that ever-loving stuff down on me Easy money Easy money Easy money Easy money Easy money Easy money
