George Harrison – Cockamamie Business
Bust my back on the levy – broke my strings on the bbc
Found my chops on eel pie island – paid my dues at the marquee
Slagged off by the nme – lost my stash and my virginity
In this cockamamie business
Got my face on ed sullivan – broke my heart on the soul train
Introduced to bad company – lost cells down at brain drain
And before I could mend – lost the missus, missed the girlfriend
In this cockamamie business
Now we like to air condition – though the air has no ozone ring
Still they´re chopping down the forest for mcdonalds and the burger king
Eating cows with such persistance – doesn?t offer much resistance
To this cockamamie business
There are too many things – stressing out the nervous system
Girls you used to know – fellas that may have kissed´em
Some got rabies – some got fleas – some got incurable diseases
From this cockamamie business
Everybody´s after as many points as they can get
As long as it´s not them that has to pay
No one really minds the debt
5-star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and directors
With their cockamamie business
Well you do what you can – can´t do much more than that
(no you can´t do what he just said)
Some days you´re pretty sharp – on other days you feel half dead
(while you make your daily bread)
Didn´t want to be a star – wanted just to play guitar
In this cockamamie business
