Simply Red - Moneys Too Tight (To Mention) (Live At Sydney Opera House)

I been laid off from work my rent is due My kids all need brand new shoes So I went to the bank to see what they could do They said Son looks like bad luck got a hold on you Money’s too tight to mention I can’t get an unemployment extension Money’s too tight to mention I went to my brother to see what he could do He said Brother I’d like to help but I’m unable to So called on my father, father Almighty father, he said Money’s too tight to mention Oh money money money money Money’s too tight to mention I can’t even qualify for my pension We’re talking 'bout reaganomics Oh lord down in the congress They’re passing all kinds of bills From up there on capitol hill, we’ve tried it Money’s too tight to mention Oh money money money money Money’s too tight to mention Cutbacks! We’re talking 'bout the dollar bill And that old man who’s over the hill Now what are we all to do When money’s got a hold on you Money’s too tight etc.
