Letra de Pearly Jim - Richard Thompson

My screenplay�s on the block
My Tuscan villa�s in hock
To Mister Pearly Jim
My wife and kids have scrammed
They say my phone is jammed
By Mister Pearly Jim
He dresses up in rags
He�s mister money bags
They call him Pearly Jim
He�ll show you Paradise
At least some place quite nice
They call him Pearly Jim
Why did you wait so long?
Can you help him sing his song?
�Alms for the poor,
Alms for the poor�
We need ketchup on our bangers and mash
This self-denial brings us out in a rash
I�m rolling dice for gin
I�m getting sliced too thin
By Mister Pearly Jim
I mortgaged my des. res

He needs a boost, he says
Does Mister Pearly Jim
He�s got a compound down
The balmy side of town
The guards�ll give you shits
He�s got a pearly suit
For every new recruit
You�ll feel so thrilled to bits
When he grits that pearly smile
Will you go that extra mile?
�Alms for the poor
Alms for the poor�
Chairman Mao�s got a whole lot of thoughts
And R.D.Laing�s got me tied up in knots
Does your conscience ever scream
Between the chaos and the dream
�Alms for the poor
Alms for the poor�
To save time just pay us here on the street
The whole universe will be our receipt
