1. LOVELY MONEY

They come to see the dungeons here
The tourists flock from far & near
They do the tower & try the beer

The picking pockets cost your life
And every jury has a price
They bring the kids & show the wife

It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies
To drink at night in Soho bars
And end up feeling sickie
And we are all making money
Lovely money

Rubber necks with cash to burn
Export criminals return
They keep on coming, never learn

They fill their diaries page by page
And make it sound so thrilling
They are searching for the real thing
They are flushed & they´re willing
And we are all making money
Lovely money

The victors of the opium wars
Now take their trips & open doors
They stand upon the actual floors
Actual floors, actual floors

It makes them proud to be around
And take their summer piccies
To drink at night in Soho bars
And end up feeling sickie

More money, more money
More money, more money

Now off you go, away you fly
We have had your money now goodbye
We fleeced you good we bled you dry
Goodbye goodbye

(repeat to fade)


2. I THINK I'M WONDERFUL

Maybe It is cos´ of the way that I dress
They say I look out of place
And my taste is a mess
And there aint
No point in trying
Cos´ I know what they are dying to do
Some stupid opinions
On the way that I´m
They can look at me
And I do not give a damn, damn, damn
They got no sense of humour
They only spread the rumour
They say I am just misguided
I do not agree

I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful

Sometimes I´ve a couple, over the eight
When I go over the top
Get in a hell of a state
And there aint
No point in trying
Cos´ I know what they are dying to do
Stick them, their feelings, what a way to behave
You say I am crazy but you can not look away
It is just a noise they are making
Whose got the time to take it?
They think I am nothing special
I do not agree

I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful

The one mistreated
I would not be beaten
I cannot be beaten now
And I am mistrusted
I would not be busted
They call me bastard yea

I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful
I think I am wonderful

Hey! hey! hey!........
I know I am wonderful
I know I am wonderful
I get up in the morning, kiss the mirror
Hello gorgeous
Hey baby, you want to have a good time?
Allright!
