Monsoon rain

Saving pennies for the monsoon rain
Saving pennies till I’m solvent again

I don’t want to go to London town
I don’t want to go to London town
To clip my heels in the city sweat
To get poked by umbrella by the suits yet

Hold on hold on
There’s time to venture out the money box
There’s still time to outsmart the fox

I’ll keep my pennies huddled in a jar
My hard earned pound are sleeping safely at home
I’ll keep my interest firmly settled on myself
Far away from bankers they can make their own mess

And I don’t want to go to London town
I don’t want to go to London town
To suckle on the American buck
To challenge the dress code I don’t give a fuck

Hold on hold on
There’s time to venture out the money box
There’s still time to outsmart the fox

Saving pennies for the monsoon rain
Saving pennies till I’m solvent again

I’ll keep my aspirations cellotaped in a file
My every desire hauled up in a pile
I’ll keep my dreams so contained and small
Waiting for the crunch to break so I can grow tall

I don’t want to go to London town
I don’t want to go to London town
To clip my heels in the city sweat
To get poked by umbrella by the suits yet

I don’t want to go to London town
I don’t want to go to London town
To suckle on the American buck
To challenge the dress code I don’t give a fuck

Hold on hold on
For the Monsoon Rain
