Lyrics Banker Bets, Banker Wins - Ian Anderson
Education,
micro-managed.
MBA:
a
doddle
mastered.
City-bound,
Canary
Wharf.
A
cushy
number,
fluky
bastard.
Banker
bets
and
banker
wins,
never
missed
yet,
for
all
his
sins.
Hedge
funds,
wraps
and
equities.
Lackeys,
aides
in
fierce
attendance.
Trusts
and
gilts,
reserve
currencies.
Liquid
gold
in
safe
ascendance.
Banker
bets
and
banker
wins,
never
missed
yet,
for
all
his
sins.
Treat
myself
to
quality
time,
Test
a
porsche
and
snort
a
line,
Eat
Hermione
for
lunch.
Set
that
glum
PA
a-jumping,
Book
front-row
tickets
for
something
after
we
munch.
Fast-tracked
futures,
hard-nut
traders.
Feeding
frenzy,
pigs
a-troughing.
Fuelled
by
forecasts,
and
hot
share
options.
Big
fat
bonus
in
the
offing.
Draconian
calls
for
regulation
Are
drowned
in
latte
with
Starbucks
muffin.
Mortgage
melt-down:
non
est
mea
culpa.
Threatened
exit,
stage
left,
laughing...
Banker
bets
and
banker
wins,
never
missed
yet,
for
all
his
sins.
Banker
bets,
cheque's
in
the
post:
not
worth
the
ink
it's
written
in.
