Danny and James last broke cover as the songwriters behind Cashier No.9, whose lush, David Holmes-produced album To The Death Of Fun (Bella Union) brought them critical acclaim (Best Album at the NI Music Awards, shortlisted for Best Album of 2011 by the Irish Times), strong radio support from BBC 6 Music, Radio 1 and Radio 2 and a string of sold-out club dates and major festival appearances across the UK and Ireland.

Kiss That Wealth Goodbye
Exmagician Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Round here they all fear
So i'm seizing the day
Hotheads can just guess and whisper away
But I make a fistful daily
I came to bless
I came to heal it all
And swindle the best
Then spring to confess
Round here is all for the taking
Light up my face
Straighten my tie
Jump of the page
See your hope whizzing by
But they all like
That I fed a lie
they all just
let go of their high hopes
And kiss it goodbye
I knuckled down
I sold as I stroll from city to town
But They never bore of this parading around
Come on and see it all glowing
Oh brother just donate me your best,
and I will chase it away
Light up my face
Straighten my tie
Jump of the page
See your hope whizzing by
But they all like
That I fed a lie
they all just
let go of their high hopes
And kiss it goodbye
But I'm here to sell, is it sinking in?
It's all empty air, but they keep tuning in
Now they all like, I fed a lie
They sell just sit there without a care
And kiss that wealth goodbye
The lyrics to Exmagician's song "Kiss That Wealth Goodbye" seem to be about a charismatic con artist who is able to deceive and manipulate people into giving him their money and belongings. The first verse speaks of how the people around him fear him and how he is able to take advantage of them by taking what he wants. He claims to have come to "bless" and "heal," but in reality, he is just there to "swindle the best." The second verse seems to describe how the people he deceives are aware of his lies, but they still fall for them and let go of their own "high hopes." The third verse is a plea to people to give their money to him, promising to "chase it away." The chorus of the song repeats "they all like that I fed a lie. They all just let go of their high hopes and kiss it goodbye."
Overall, the lyrics seem to touch on themes of greed, deceit, and manipulation. The song portrays the con artist as someone who is able to manipulate people into giving them what they want, but ultimately, this behavior will catch up to them and their victims will be left with nothing.
