The Pound Is Sinking Lyrics
The song The Pound Is Sinking is performed by Paul Mccartney in the album named Tug Of War in the year 1990 .
Send The Pound Is Sinking Ringtone to your Cell
The pound is sinking, the peso's failing
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
The mark is holding, the franc is fading
The drachma's very weak but everyone's still trading
The market's bottom has fallen right out
And only the strong are survivors
Well, I fear my dear that it's eminently clear
That you can't see the trees for the forest
Your father was an extraordinary man but you don't seem
To have inherited many of his mannerisms
Oh, any of his mannerisms
The dollar's moving, the ruble's rising
The yen is keeping up which hardly seems surprising
The market's bottom has fallen right out
And only the strong are survivors
Hear me lover, I can't be held responsible now
For something that didn't happen
I knew you for a minute, oh it didn't happen
Only for a minute, your heart just wasn't in it anymore
The pound is sinking, the peso's failing
The lira's reeling and feeling quite appalling
