Lyrics Big Business in Europe - The Delgados

Big Business in Europe

Situation’s been declined
What is yours is yours is mine
Keep the steady income low
'Til they got me to shine (and shining so)
What is wrong with wasting all you’ve got to show?
What you’re worth is what you know
To them
(Got me defying, magnifying)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Taking lessons, taking time
Lose yourself in petty crime
No-one else to fear and time to grow
(Up and climbing, climbing so)
If I feel like having someone make my day
I’ll find someone, make him pay today
(I've been trying, terrifying)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey
(High juice in my mouth)
(Easy as a crosstown)
(Easy now is never how)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
(Tin sounds all around)
(Cleaner in the morning)
(Clearer now they can’t be found)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Take a walk and try to learn
Precious time with precious sound
Who’s to say there’s none to send?
What is wrong with wasting all you’ve got to show?
What you’re worth is what you know
(I'm not clearer, never freer)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey
(Pictures in my ear)
(I can make it nicer, I can make it sound clear)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
(Young hands flying by)
(Easy on the uphill, faster down the bullet sky)
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
Hey boy, hey boy
In time we’ll end this session
I’m making plans for new attentions
In time we’ll start to question
But for the moment I’ll hold my mention
Hold my mention
Stop
