Fairly in the Money Now

The Undertones

Tommy always said he'd make it one day
 Lead singer in a top show band
 So with some friends made up tunes to play
 Tommy Tate and the Torpedoes began

 Soon they were the rave of all the high school hops
 And satin suits all dressed to kill
 Soon tommy's boy's became top of the pops
 But then the money came over the hill
 But then the money came over the hill

 All the cash to spend on their girlfriends
 Howard Hughes is missed a turn there
 And then their interests
 Are manager's requests
 They all bought their ranches

 Hype-notised by every part that arrived
 Higher prices for indifferent songs
 But never the less Tommy's into success
 So his Torpedoes kept plodding on
 And his Torpedoes kept plodding on
