Elvis Costello — Clean Money lyrics

Lyrics

PaydayЂ™s coming and we wash it away
Clean moneyclean money
PaydayЂ™s coming and we wash it away
Clean moneyclean money
ThatЂ™s what I want to do
I want to spend it on you
Checking on a checkmate
Grassing on a classmate
So beautiful and fortunate
He hates to loveyou love to hate
He can fix you for good
Ђ™cause he is the neighborhood
You canЂ™t get money for blood
Blood money for doinЂ™ no good
But they wonЂ™t take my love for tender
PaydayЂ™s coming and we wash it away
Clean moneyclean money
PaydayЂ™s coming and we wash it away
Clean moneyclean money
ThatЂ™s what I want to do
I want to spend it on you
Have you made your selection?
Are you ready for correction?
Ђ™cause the wages of sin
Are an expensive infection
And itЂ™s under the counter
Under the geiger counter
Who stole your thunder?
But they wonЂ™t take my love for tender
