Cockamamie Business lyrics

Artist  : George Harrison 
Song : Cockamamie Business
 
Bust my back on the Levy - broke my strings on the
BBC
Found my chops on Eel Pie Island - paid my dues
at the Marquee
Slagged off by the N.M.E. - lost my stash and my
virginity
In this Cockamamie Business

Got my face on Ed Sullivan - broke my heart on
the Soul Train
Introduced to Bad Company - lost cells down at
Brain Drain
And before I could mend - lost the missus, missed
the girlfriend
In this Cockamamie Business

Now we like to air condition - though the air has
no ozone ring
Still they're chopping down the forest for
McDonalds and the Burger King
Eating cows with such persistance - doesn't offer
much resistance
To this Cockamamie Business

There are too many things - stressing out the
nervous system
Girls you used to know - fellas that may have
kissed'em
Some got rabies - Some got fleas - some got
incurable diseases
From this Cockamamie Business

Everybody's after as many points as they can get
As long as it's not them that has to pay
No one really minds the Debt
5-Star actors, tax inspectors, film producers and
directors
With their Cockamamie Business

Well you do what you can - can't do much more
than that
(No you can't do what he just said)
Some days you're pretty sharp - on other days you
feel half dead
(While you make your daily bread)
Didn't want to be a star - wanted just to play
guitar
In this Cockamamie Business
