The Devil's In the Marketing
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The spiv hid in the shadows said
(The devil's in the marketing)
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The silver moon slid shivering
Along his shiv, Or this instead
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The spiv hid in the shadows said
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
It love you long time that for sure
(The devil's in the marketing)
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The pimp said as a passing king
Threw thirty pennies on the floor
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
It love you long time that for sure
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The artist and the writer sighed
(The devil's in the marketing)
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
A feather from an angel's wing
Fell fluttering but no-one died
Psst wanna buy a pretty thing
The artist and the writer sighed
