Jon English - Always The Busker Lyrics
One for the money and two for the showThree for the busker who plays by the roadThey say life's a *****, and then you dieAnd if wishes were fishes then all pigs would flyBut there's always a busker, so hey busker I...Well I once did a solo for Elton JohnHe was stopped on my corner so I played him a songAnd for seven whole seconds he looked in my eyeThen the lights turned to green and he left with a smileAnd we both thought but there, but for God's grace go I...I once shared a band with a girl named LeeWe were singers and lovers in close harmonyAh, but this thing called fame creeps up so secretlyAnd one day when I got home early for teaThere was no video and no colour TVAnd a big empty bed where my Lee used to beAh, but thousands of people march to my songsSome just ignore me and shuffle alo-ongSome others tip me, hah, and sometimes they sing right along...One for the money, two for the showThree for the busker who plays by the roadWell, I ain't got no boss and I ain't got no plansExcept what I play, hah, and perhaps where I standAnd if you listen real close I can sound like a whole - damn - bandTake it awayWell, the bright side is I can still work anywhere'Cause Springstein and I have the same crowds each dayGuess the only real difference is how much they pay...It's OK thenIt's one for the money, two for the showThree for the busker who plays by the roadThey say life's a *****, and then you dieAnd if wishes were fishes then all pigs would flyBut there's always the busker, so hey busker I...
