The Flattery Stakes Lyrics

Greenslade The Flattery Stakes

Get what you want while you can
I'm a generous man but no fool
The sequins were sewn on by hand by my mother
The false eye is a jewel

I'm wonderful, so marvellous. but flattery's
superfluous

But when I'm lonely
What's left but a void

So get what you can while you want
I'm a generous man who said fool
The toupee was fashioned by craftsmen, draughtsmen
The cigar is a ruse

I'm meticulous, ridiculous and totally fastidious

But when I'm lonely
I haven't a friend

So get if you want what you can
I'm a generous fool some say man
I'll meet you outside on the pitch with the others
Or one afternoon with a band
Or one afternoon with a band

But when I'm lonely
Who's real and who's who

Get what you want while you can
(If you want it you can get it )
Get what you can while you want
(If you want it you can get it)
Get if you want what you can
