Scritti Politti Bam Salute
Bam Salute and all the right and reason now are out of
reach
They ran away with beauty baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop
beach
Bam Salute and when the work is over what can baby do?
But undermine and overthrow the cheatin' of the chosen
few
Bop-A-Re-Bop beach now baby
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any
time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long
ago
Bam Salute and all the just and proper you've been
waiting for
Sailed away with virtue baby - out to Bop-A-Re-Bop
shore
Bam Salute and now the judge and jury - you can lock
away
And all your world's abandoned to - the wages for a
working day
Bop-A-Re-Bop shore now baby
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any
time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long
ago
Bop-A-Re-Bop beach now baby
Oh the one thing I know - is that wherever you go
You won't find the peace of mind you're looking for -
not any more
And since that's the case - put a smile on your face
You can love me - we can live above the law
Oh first and foremost - ooh you gotta get close
To the money and the madness that are mine - at any
time
And last but not least - in the heart of the beast
There's a beauty that was once upon a time - and long
ago.
