mr greenswamp
mr greenswamp runs a fund in the city of london
likes models and money, races fast cars when his hands aren’t wonderin’
mr greenswamp spends his days squeezing figures
juggling numbers, hangs with rock stars, royals and liggers
expensive pleasures, ego and fraud
warrants, bonds and the law
______
mr greenswamp likes the ins and outs of pairs trading
he loves it when the ladies are loaded, and the limo’s waiting
mr greenswamp meets nervous traders who’re binge drinking
uncovered shorts weren’t closed, hey mr greenswamp your fund is sinking
expensive pleasures, ego and fraud
warrants, bonds and the law
______
private clubs, invitations
sartorial sophistication
if you cover your bets you won’t get burned, and lost on broken street
you shop around for money
get paid 2 and 20 percent
of profits and gains that are earned (ain’t it sweet)
______
(solo)
______
long lunches, scheming of riches
loose spreads, loans with bridges
is it heaven’s sedition or hell’s seduction
gripped in the vice of greed
arrogant condescending vanity
financial weapons of mass destruction
the christmas tree on your screen has turned red
the volume on your trades has gone dead
you panic and want to sell but there’s no buyer
your value fund has blown up
greed caught you, hope you grows u
in pinstripe suits from saville row with prison squires
