Jon English - Always The Busker Lyrics

Send "Always The Busker" ringtone to your cell

One for the money and two for the show

Three for the busker who plays by the road

They say life's a bitch, and then you die

And if wishes were fishes then all pigs would fly

But there's always a busker, so hey busker I...

Well I once did a solo for Elton John

He was stopped on my corner so I played him a song

And for seven whole seconds he looked in my eye

Then the lights turned to green and he left with a smile

And we both thought but there, but for God's grace go I...

I once shared a band with a girl named Lee

We were singers and lovers in close harmony

Ah, but this thing called fame creeps up so secretly

And one day when I got home early for tea

There was no video and no colour TV

And a big empty bed where my Lee used to be

Ah, but thousands of people march to my songs

Some just ignore me and shuffle alo-ong

Some others tip me, hah, and sometimes they sing right along...

One for the money, two for the show

Three for the busker who plays by the road

Well, I ain't got no boss and I ain't got no plans

Except what I play, hah, and perhaps where I stand

And if you listen real close I can sound like a whole - damn - band

Take it away

Well, the bright side is I can still work anywhere

'Cause Springstein and I have the same crowds each day

Guess the only real difference is how much they pay...

It's OK then

It's one for the money, two for the show

Three for the busker who plays by the road

They say life's a bitch, and then you die

And if wishes were fishes then all pigs would fly

But there's always the busker, so hey busker I...
