With apologies to Bruce Springsteen :-)... but none to G4s
Bought a bourgeois house in the Cheshire hills
With a load of hundred thousand Olympic bills
Man came by to hook up my cable TV
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn
We made fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Well now security sure was my company's wish
So we hopped into town for some youth to diss
I tied them to the top of my Japanese car
I asked 'em to make us safe but we never got far
A message came back from the great beyond
There's fifty-seven million spent and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires
We gotta big cheque that was causing some stares
All I got was a note that said I have to step down
There's fifty seven million spent but no-ones in town "
(Fifty-seven million and nothin' doin)
So I bought a .44 magnum, it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of Elvis well I just let it blast
'Til my career lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for security i just failed to meet
Judge said "What you got in your defense son?"
"Fifty-seven million and nothin' on"
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and still and nothin' on
I can see by your smile son there's nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and nothin' on
Fifty-seven million and no security on...

Can just hear Bruce S singing this!! Great! (Saw him on 'Tunnel of Love' tour at Hillsboro' - odd place atmospherically - late 80's - amazing!)
