I’d Rather Have Money Than Fame
flash back to 99 rockin on stage with friend of mine
little group called Mexico made a habit outta stealin every show
the white hart was where we played, rarely got laid never did get paid
didn't change how it made us feel jammin blink covers me and MexiNeil

these are the times these are the moments you remember
lyin on your bed at heavens door
these are the times these are the moments you remember
life's for livin please dont regret yours

no time like present day when every bad choice still goes my way
20 shows per month on file shame we're flat broke but we do it in style
took tips from those who know just like the song from flc goes
if it was me, id rather have money than fame

flash forward ten year's time, a direct twitter link from my mind
front page that face of mine, flyin off shelves everyday from 9
why read whats not the truth scandal in the mirror but wheres the proof
read my lips I didn't do it, but folks will believe anything that's in print

future looks so damn bright
got to wear shades just to shield my eyes
protect my mind keep the ground in sight
save your dreams from the big white lie
that all good things come to those who try
all you can do's do what makes you smile
money's no good if you hate your life,
fame equals cash its a double edged sword
spits you out broke and leaves you wanting more...


The Sauchiehall Street Shuffle
every night without a fail
taxis rev and sirens wail
rain or snow you just can't beat
a night drinkin dry Sauchiehall Street

Sauchiehall Street
you don't know who you'll meet up on Sauchiehall Street

you can rock the stage shoot some pool
or knock back jack if you got the blues
my friends and me we skip the wine
cos every night is tequila time on

at 3am you're outta luck,
your best friend's pulled and he's off to …
if there's a will there's sure a chance
you'll pull some steamer in the taxi rank on
