20% - Banfi

You know there’ll always be people you don’t like

You know there’ll always be things that can’t be right

But then there’s passengers who lie

And fuck with your entire life

Just 'cause they decided

They deserve to make some new friends in Texas

Talk through bands and enjoy the keynote speech

They’ll always be around just as long as

Someone else has dreams

20% for the Shiny Percent Man

Who wobbles around pretending he’s in demand

10 more percent for the booker of bandstands

Who wobbles around with your career in his hands

Remember sunset clauses

They’ll want a sunset clause

It’s only standard practice

They’ll need their sunset clause

There’ll be some wonders you never get to see

There’ll be some lovers you never get to meet

So it’s a shame when chance gives you a man

Who thinks he’s the next Peter Grant

By forwarding your emails

Dickens' villains are a handy reference

Blending Pecksniff with Uriah Heap

They’ll always have an unhealthy preference for

Someone else’s dreams

S’not like the 3 of us are close to being saints

And that’s a boring picture I would never paint

But then some

Folks have always trusted us

They’ll always be there for us

While you’re the one who stands there

Thinking you provide a professional service

I’ll always wonder how you get to sleep

So lie down and let your empty head rest

On someone else’s dreams
