Lyrics

Money makes the world go wrong
So what, who cares?
Gonna waste some time tonight
I haven't done that in years

That’s the beauty of Earl’s Court

Fleecing the Australians 
It happens every day 
Sucking on your aliens 
You fleece him too in a way 

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court

Like the canyons of New York 
But not as filthy or cool
It’s the kind of place that they don't 
Tell you about at school 

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court

Drifting into afternoons
Where nothing matters at all 
See the rubber gloves inflating
Poking out of the wall

That’s the beauty of Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court

I've got to find another home
I've got to find another home
Until morning comes I wake in bed
And look to see that I'm not dead

Start out young and beautiful
End up old and diseased
They can gauge your real age
You're full of rings like a tree

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court

Standing by the underground
The bubbles rise in the air
Gonna waste some time tonight
I haven't done that in years

That’s the beauty of Earl’s court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court Earl’s Court
