Payrise

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 How much?
Not enough see my agent.
My job’s got a limited lifespan,
And I need security.

2 Leave a comment on verse 2 0 I need to earn just enough,
Not too much.
Just a little more than you.
A hundred and twenty grand a week should do it.

3 Leave a comment on verse 3 0 Ninety grand??
A pauper’s wage
I need a hundred and twenty,
Well for next season anyway, then we’ll see.

4 Leave a comment on verse 4 0 In the rarefied atmosphere of the Premier League
How many of the paying fans
Could hope to see that in two years
Let alone a week.

5 Leave a comment on verse 5 0 Greed rules
OK?

Notes

It must be hard struggling by on ninety grand a week.
