i'll bet good money
bet some beautiful money
that we could agree with anybody here to disagree
that we could get up from the table
and nobody would know
you could leave your mouth talking and
follow me out the window
i've idled here as long as i can
i've taken my entertainment like a man
i'm all ribbons, scissors, flowers and shaking hands
i'm just a name in a black book attached to a face
at the back of your memory's window display
it's on the tip of your tongue i'm sure
but i must away
must be good to know people who know so many people
must be good to be somebody good to be somebody they know
and the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends
i'm sure we'll all be
and the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends
i'm sure we'll remain
die here in out deckchairs
surrounded by beautiful shoes
or hide out with me
at the bottom of a swimming pool
climb the tower to the bell curve
that cuts a soul so clean
or shoot out sharpened arrows at their family trees
'cos i know no quicker way dear
to the shiny gates of hell
than a room full of handsome devils
comparing everything to everything else
they just keep coming on like a driverless train
i can think of nothing adorable to say
it's half past the hour it looks like rain
do you like me, can i go now?
at the end of the yellow brick drive nobody waits for us
on our backs on the roof of the car watch the switchboard lighting up
and the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends
i'm sure we'll all be
and the fastest of friends, the fastest of friends
i'm sure we'll remain
and don't worry baby i won't let this ship go down without us
and don't worry baby they won't let this ship go down without us
i'll bet good money
bet some beautiful money...
