It's always gone within two days.
Follow my father, his extravagant ways.
So if I got it I will spend it all,
Camden and Parkway 'til I hit a wall.

I cross my fingers at the cash machine,
As I check my balance I kiss the screen.
I love it when it says I got the means,
To go to Miss Sixty and pick up my new jeans.

Never lasts me long,
Handle finance wrong,
Blow it all on bags and shoes,
Jazz 'n blues. (2x)

Standin' too deep at the bar today,
Wait with impatience to throw my cash away.
Four white Russians a JD and Coke,
Buy their drinks all night and now I am broke.
But that's cool 'cause I can borrow more from you,
And I didn't forget about that fifty pound, too.
Tell you what, my advance is comin' through,
I'll take you out shoppin',
Can you wait 'til next June? Yeah.

Never lasts me long,
Handle finance wrong (handle it wrong),
Blow it all on bags and shoes,
Jazz 'n blues (jazz and blues).

Never lasts me long (long),
Handle finance wrong (wrong),
Blow it all on bags and shoes (blow it all),
Jazz 'n blues.

Listened to this a ton of times and I believe these to be the correct lyrics.
Please correct if you see a mistake or debate it out.

Also, I love how you can tell she wrote this right before Frank was released and when she got the cash advance from the record company.

Thanks.

Everything seemed correct to me. Does this song remind you of Trilby? The lyrics of this song remind me of Trilby quite a bit.

[JackofHearts]

It does in the sense that the subject is very similar. She was really into her fashion and designers. And it seems like they are both sort of about nothing, or at least not a serious song. It's a little fun and silly.

[what'sinsideher]

The lyrics look right to me! And yeah, it is sort of similar to Trilby. I think they both represent her mindset at the time and I love that!

She was very frivolous and just all-around excited to have all the money she was getting! I would be, too!

[LiamSullivan]

Yeah, I love the songs where she's not as serious just as much as the very serious songs like Back to Black or Wake Up Alone.

Another contradiction about Amy.. she loved fashion but I think once she agreed that fashion was soulless yet she was full of soul!

I saved the song you want. I'm a great fan of Amy, and I am happy to help other fans like me.....

I zipped the mp3 file on my personal server. Enjoy!! The file will be available for a limited time... for security reason.
