Hiding in Public
Mr Greenswamp
Lyrics
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
