about

"Sex is like money; only too much is enough"
― John Updike

lyrics

Sex and Money

Sex and money are overrated
They come and go like summer storms
In the clear, cold light of the morning
Love and music keep you warm
Love and music keep you warm

From the time he could smile he was using his guile
On the wiles of the opposite sex
As the hunt was his skill he would chase never kill
Thrilling one pair of eyes to the next

While the quarry was vast his enjoyment would last
and the preening was masking his pain
Now the four winds have blown all the
seeds that he's sown
He's alone and his lust was in vain

Sex and money are overrated
First they're here and then they're gone
In the fading light of the evening
Love and music guide you on
Love and music guide you on

She was born silver-spooned to a oil tycoon
and she uptraded soon into gold
When she foisted her ploy on a country club boy
To enjoy all the spoils of his fold

Still with all of their beans they're outside of their means
In between bliss and panic attack
You can earn and purloin, if you hug what you've coined
And enjoin it, it never hugs back

Sex and money are overrated
Only too much is enough
In the deep dark blue of the evening
Love and music is the stuff
Love and music is the stuff

Sex and money are overrated
They come and go like summer storms
In the clear, cold light of the morning
Love and music keep you warm
Love and music keep you warm
