The Bank Wreck

And as I drive to my place of employment
this gorgeous friday morning
I think to myself of what's in store...
I reason with myself about the awful alternatives
I could have been facing

I wouldn't want to be driving
to the recording studio this morning
to finish off the new album
or doing the radio interview circuit
or chatting to some useless hacks
about the meaning of my 'terrible' new single

Stepping out of my large car
and being photographed by the tabloids
as I raise my customary finger salute to the nation
is no way for a man to spend his day

Then a meeting with my money man
who counts it all and lets me know
how many zeros end the balance of my account

And stepping out in front of a hundred thousand adoring fans
who sing my songs louder than I could ever wish to
is far too demanding on the nervous system
for one as weak as me

So, for once I appreciate what I have got
and stroll in to work, nonchalant
and begin todays task

The bank reconciliation........
