Three cheers for the money men For they alone can get what they seek Is it better having failed in being strong To succeed in being weak? And if you're told exactly what to have You grab it just as quickly as you can

 

The fireman came around And put all the fires out And cried everyone down 'Cos nobody had the heart to please themselves

 

You forget love, you forget love Doesn't hold up on a weak heart And being beaten down doesn't easily get up You forget love, you forget love

 

Those men in England sending bills across the water Tend to make you feel you ought to give up And when you're tethered there forever You have to seem as if you do it for love Whatever pays you back for what you've done It will never be what you wanted

 

The fireman came around And put all the fires out And cried everyone down 'Cos nobody had the heart to please themselves

 

You forget love, you forget love Doesn't hold up on a weak heart And being beaten down doesn't easily get up You forget love, you forget love
