Capital Love - Paul Heaton, Jacqui Abbott

It’ll climb the chapel, take the lead off the roof

Run along the aisle, nick the kettle and the pew

Sell the whole congregation for a dollar or two

Capital love

Who rings the bell in the middle of the night?

Sellining you insurance for a friend that’s died

Flogging you flowers 'fore the tears have dried

Capital love

Criticise your plans as a communist dream

Serve you up nothing but utopian cream

Sell you back the water from your mountain stream

Capital love!

Who shot Martin Luther King?

Who shot JR?

Who got JFK in the sights and blew him outta the car?

Who the hell shot John Lennon?

Who’s gonna shoot Ringo and Paul?

Ten pound note, dollar bill, capital shot them all

Grab you at the airport like you’re up at the shops

Charge you five pounds, sell you last night’s slops

Try to clean your window every time your car stops

Capital love

That’s how they’ll treat your Jane and Jack

Chance to invest and get a little bit back

Turn the whole town into two-bed flats

Capital love

Move the Indians in where the cowboys build

Make you feel guilty about the oil they spilled

Try to get you sponsoring a leopard they killed

Capital love

It takes your favourite singer before they die

Leave every tape running, for the hurt you buy

Dig the bastard up, record the cry

Capital love, capital love, capital love…

Who put Reagan in a bullet-proof vest?

Who X-marked the spot on Malcom X

The same cold caller, or unwanted text?

Capital love, capital love, capital love…

Capital love, love, love

Capital love, love, love

Capital love, love, love…

Capital love

Capital love

Capital love

Capital love

Capital love…
