Cold Hard Cash
Tom Cridland Lyrics

We beg, we borrow, we hoard, we steal, prioritise it over what is real
We creep on our tiptoes to pinch from the jar
Oh it’s dog eat dog baby

I’ll break your heart for that cold hard cash
You don’t know what it means to me
Baby that cold hard cash
I’ll turn three hundred and sixty degrees for that cold hard cash
There ain’t a language I wouldn’t learn to talk for some cold hard cash
Boy warn the city cos it’s gonna burn
We’re shameless, we’re primal, sincere and fake
What is a promise if you can’t break it
You like to pretend that you’re different from me
When the cheque comes at dinner you have to pee

Cold hard cash, saving it up for a rainy day
Honey some cold hard cash
Forget a boat baby, I’ll buy the bay
You’ll need that cold hard cash to ensure your peace of mind
It’s for the cold hard cash that we put up with the daily grind

I’m gonna be rich beyond my wildest dreams
I’m gonna buy a big house in Beverly Hills and fill it with expensive things

With that cold hard cash there ain’t nothin that I can’t afford
Thanks to that cold hard cash I’m in a Phantom and you’re in a Ford
Oh sugar that cold hard cash, you know that they say it’s better than love
Right on, it’s cold hard cash that keeps the light in my bedroom off
Oh that light in my bedroom off
