lyrics

Sally was a girl who
Couldn’t make her own mind
Of what she wanted to lose -
She had everything
A girl could ever want
(And maybe then some more)
It’s not like
She even knew why
She cried at night -
Save it for the morning light,
It’s just a new day,
The sky ain’t so grey -
Why the sad face?
There’s plenty worse off than you.

Benny was a grown man -
He’d been around the block a few times
For a dime
But it was a dame
That he couldn’t obtain,
Punching in and out of the clock -
Making him go insane.
Just take a pill,
Get back on the treadmill,
Just don’t sit still -
There’s plenty out there to kill,
Just give of yourself;
Love someone else
‘Coz true love is true wealth.

Using each other,
Not really lovers,
Using each other’s beds and bodies -
Making them go insane.
Didn’t quite go to plan
For Sally & Ben –
Their time has come to close,
‘Twas a match made not up high
But down below,
So they took off all their clothes,
And true love is true wealth,
Sally & Ben didn’t find it themselves –
They just saw it sitting up on the shelf.
